vin naturel
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.

Denavolo’s Ciliegia is a rare example of Ortrugo in pure form, made from vines around 60 years old rooted in clay-limestone soils in Emilia-Romagna. It undergoes three months of skin contact, then rests for a year in stainless steel, resulting in a lively orange wine that combines freshness, moderate body, and a gently evolving aromatic profile. Subtle fruity hints open the way for more floral or herbal nuances, reflecting the extended maceration process. This balance of acidity and texture makes Ciliegia an appealing choice for those curious about lesser-known grapes. It pairs nicely with light dishes, but it also stands well on its own, offering a glimpse into the character and tradition of long-macerated white wines from this region.
