Hand-harvested grapes are brought to the cellar for spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with Falanghina and Fiano undergoing one week of skin contact while Chardonnay is directly pressed. The wines rest in tank for five months before blending and bottling with minimal sulfur, coarse filtration, and no fining. Sourced from certified organic, 20-year-old estate vines planted on calcareous soils, the wine is further aged for two months in bottle before release. In the glass, this orange wine offers expressive aromas of spring herbs, mandarin and orange peel, peach, apricot, and subtle oriental spices. The palate is driven by vibrant salinity and striking freshness, delivering a bright, seaside-inspired profile that feels like a vacation in a glass.
