2021 Ampeleia Alicante Nero

Part of Ampeleia's "Monovarietali" project, this wine showcases Alicante Nero (known as Grenache in France, Cannonau in Sardinia, and Garnacha in Spain) from the single-parcel Vigna della Pieve vineyard. The site features sandy soils rich in pebbles at 250 meters elevation. Harvested in early September at yields of 50 hl/ha, the fruit undergoes part carbonic and part destemmed vinification. The wine is aged 6 months in concrete tanks to retain freshness, following biodynamic practices and remaining unfiltered with low sulphites. 6,000 bottles produced.
