Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.

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.
