Tasting note

Highly perfumed natural wine from vineyards close to Lake Garda, exuding peach, orange and grapefruit, with a sliver of flint on the finish.

Viticulture

Double Guyot vine training. The grapes come from small parcels in Ottella estate, all close to Lake Garda, harvested very late, around the end of October.

Vinification

A limited edition, skin-contact white, made in the manner of yesteryear, without mechanical help, hence the name: no machines whirring, just silence. Estate-grown Turbiana, from vineyard plots close to Lake Garda, is harvested late (end October), and then vinified like a red wine, with a month-long skin maceration, followed by mellowing in clay amphoras.

Food Match

Such a unique wine rewards experimentation. Try it with cod fillet with a citrus dressing, Pad Thai, or creamier curries like korma or pasanda.
