To investigate
This white wine from Penedès features Macabeu grapes from Las Parelladas vineyard in Sant Sadurní. The calcareous soil contributes to its distinctive mineral and saline finish. The wine undergoes eight days of skin contact fermentation and spends two months on lees with weekly stirring. Bottled without filtration or stabilization to maintain its natural character, it presents floral notes and a light, mineral structure.
Buono un po’ dolce per miei gusti però vino molto buono

Caviste
Vento d’Estate is a skin-contact Passerina grown on calcareous clay close to the Adriatic in the protected Fosso delle Farfalle near Rocca San Giovanni. The vines, planted between 1998 and 2001, are tended organically by hand. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts, and the must rests on the skins for about ten days, giving a soft golden colour and a gentle grip. Ageing continues in steel, with no filtration, fining or added sulphur, so the wine stays true to itself and is friendly to vegans. In the glass you’ll find bright notes of yellow peach, tropical fruit and citrus peel, lifted by a hint of sea breeze and white flowers. The palate is smooth yet lively, carried by fresh acidity and a clean, dry finish that invites another sip. Enjoy well-chilled with fried calamari, smoked fish or a light noodle bowl.
