"Nista" Bianco
“Vintage 2020, 100% Trebbiano Spoletino in purity. Harvest in mid-September, trying to take Trebbiano in an “uncomfortable” position, less mature. Seven days of maceration with the skins in open vats, then drawn off. Aging in stainless steel from October, then directly in the bottle from April 2021. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. In search of elegance hidden in the details, nature tells how much flavor and how much intensity there can be when you leave it free to do so. A wine dedicated to my land, to its June smells and to a word that in Serbo-Croatian means “nothing” and that every woman in the world uses when she wants to mean "everything". “
"Milton" Rosato
“Vintage 2020, simultaneous harvest of all the grapes at the end of August (Merlot 60%, Sangiovese 35%, Trebbiano Spoletino 5%). Passed directly to the wine press and fermented in stainless steel, without skins. After the fermentation, aged in stainless steel until April 2021 and then directly in the bottle. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. Fragrant, fresh, tasty. Dedicated to MILTON, the main character of "Una questione privata (A private affair)" by Beppe Fenoglio, a hero of Italian Resistance, who while immersing his life into the salvation of his homeland, is obsessed with the thought of the woman he loves and who may have betrayed him. Perhaps we are all absorbed in important projects and tasks, always with our mind and heart immersed in our emotions. Severe as a white, excited as a red, Or otherwise... My Rosato.”
"Bardamú" Rosso
In Marco’s words - Assembly of the red grapes of my vineyard, vinified for half without contact with the skins and for the remaining part with a short maceration of 4 days. After fermentation, separate refinements in fiberglass and then, on the first day of winter, December 21st, final assembly. Dedicated to Ferdinand Bardamú, protagonist of the “Voyage au boits de la nuits“, by my beloved Louis Ferdinand Celine. It is the wine that most of all has been together with my anxieties of autumn, the tormented period of fermentations: the personal fear of showing the kind part of my soul.
"L'Essenziale" Vino Rosso
Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Malvasia, Trebbiano and Grechetto. Spontaneous fermentation with 3 days skin maceration in separate fermentation vats. Combined and aged in stainless steel for 5 months before bottling. Far from the easy wines of today, it is a tribute to the carefree wines of a few generations ago. A wine for those who are not afraid of wine; a snack mate, useful to recover from fatigue and to find words when they are lost. Marco’s white, dressed in red.
"Settantasette" Vino Rosso
“Vintage 2020, 100% Sangiovese in purity. Harvest in early September. Maceration with the skins in open vats until the alcoholic fermentation is completed, then in steel. Finally in the bottle from April 2021. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. Tense, juicy, pungent, grumpy, restless, bony. Dedicated to the year of my birth, which was beautiful and terrible. Joyful, carefree but also dark and violent as well. Inspired by the only one word I can never pronounce without stumbling. As a key song for me said: “Ask Settantasette (Seventy-seven) if you don't know how to do it”. My way of looking at a hard year, an extraordinary grape, a generous land with today's eyes.
"Accade" Vino Rosso
“Vintage 2019, 100% Sangiovese in purity. Short maceration of 4 days on the skins. Then refinement in fiber-glass until December 2020. In steel until April 2021, then in the bottle.A wine born to be a SETTANTA-SETTE that instead rebelled and decided to go on a long solitary journey of refinement and definition. Two pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. A wine that “HAPPENS” (“ACCADE” in Italian) which represents for me the trust in the “natural” choice: if a wine breathes clean energy, love and a touch of madness, it will never remain unfinished. It will only be up to his winemaker to know how to wait for it. My “special” bottle.”
