Trebbiano, Vermentino - Toscana
Prix de la bouteille : 27 EUR
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.
Els Bassots is a captivating skin-contact Chenin Blanc from Conca de Barberà. Made biodynamically at around 450 metres of altitude, the grapes benefit from a dry climate moderated by cool sea winds. They are harvested by hand and macerated on their skins for roughly ten days before fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine rests for about one year in neutral French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, and without added sulphites. This approach gives the wine a light golden hue, creamy texture, and bright citrus hints. Its lively acidity and subtle mineral notes linger on the palate, reflecting both the region’s clay-limestone soils and the winemaker’s gentle touch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Els Bassots offers a distinctive Spanish take on a traditionally French grape, showing that Chenin Blanc can flourish beautifully under the Catalan sun.

Caviste
Chiarofiore is a distinctive organic white wine from Tuscany, crafted with Trebbiano and Vermentino grapes. Tunia harvests them in four stages to capture a range of ripeness and flavors. Early-picked Trebbiano grapes provide vivid acidity, while Vermentino and fully ripe Trebbiano, fermented on their skins, add body and subtle tannins. Finally, a small portion of late-harvest Trebbiano, partly touched by noble rot, lends delicate sweetness and smoother texture. After extended time on the lees in steel tanks, Chiarofiore develops a striking amber hue with glints of pink. Aromas can begin with a gentle note of spice and clove, evolving into dried apricot, orange peel, and a mild caramel touch. On the palate, the wine feels fresh and slightly saline, balanced by gentle tannins that bring a pleasant grip. Its fullness lingers, revealing more nuance with each sip. Though officially a white wine, Chiarofiore’s color and structure place it among orange wines, making it a fascinating choice for those seeking something beyond the ordinary. Enjoy it at around 14°C, letting it breathe a few moments before tasting. Pair it with mature cheeses, white meats, or vegetable dishes, and discover how its layered character unfolds with every sip.
