Vinification: Rorippa 2021 is considered an “experimental” project seen that in 2017 Martina’s grandfather Nino gifted her an abandoned vineyard. From this point, a reconstructional, but non a denaturalisational of the sixty-years old vines began. The vineyard is located in a particularly windy area, but still repaired by trees and bushes. For this reason, it was not necessary an intervention to oppose illnesses by means of products that are against the phylosophy of our company. After the harvest period, the grapes get destemmed and they are left in maceration for 6 months in amphoras. In this way, the most characteristical notes of the grapes get extracted. Finelly, “Rorippa” gets imbottled only when we feel like it is ready to undertake a journey to your tables.
