Altura Ansonaco
A rich, full-bodied wine, bursting with aroma and flavor, with its traditional golden hue the color of the grape at full ripeness. It should be opened in advance and enjoyed at cellar temperature, not straight from the fridge. It behaves like a red wine.
Suitable for aging, even long-term, it pairs beautifully with all kinds of dishes, both fish and meat.
-
Wineyard: The vines cling to the seaside on small, sometimes tiny terraces, along steep slopes. There are no roads or paths, so harvesting and transportation—like all other tasks—are carried out entirely by hand.
-
Harvest and vinification: Hand-harvested into crates around mid-to-late September and transported to the village.
-
Spontaneous fermentation on the skins at cellar temperature, in steel tanks.
Racked at the end of fermentation, then racked again around three times before bottling, which usually happens just before the next harvest.
Depending on the vintage, total SO2 levels range between 12 and 19 mg/L, with an alcohol content between 12.5% and 13.5%.
Unfiltered, untreated—no chemical, thermal or mechanical intervention. Only racking and a shared commitment. “Fatto all’antica”—made the old way, as they say.
