Amethysts, Mani di Luna Farm - Grechetto Umbria IGT (Organic)

Presentation: Natural Wine “Ametistas” takes its name from the amethyst crystal that lights up the body with a luminous energy and without intoxication ancient Greek nymph turned into stone to escape the desires of Dionysus who in revenge gave her the color of wine. The Grechetto grapes from the old vines of the Baratto and Casale vineyards are harvested in two harvests to have the right balance between freshness, finesse and complexity. The grapes harvested in September are then pressed on a vertical wooden press with whole bunches, while the grapes harvested in October are destemmed by hand and then macerated on the skins for 3-4 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts (spontaneous) without temperature control in small tanks for 2-3 weeks. Golden yellow color tending towards orange and slightly hazy. Rich and complex aroma with notes of candied citrus, aromatic herbs, wild flowers and honey. Intense, fresh, good structure, persistent. The company: Fattoria Mani di Luna was founded in Torgiano in 2012 by three friends: Alessandro, Rocco and Simone, with the aim of redeveloping the company by converting it to organic and biodynamic agriculture methods. The farm follows the lunar cycles associated with the movements of the constellations and through manual and artisanal processes tries to obtain natural products of high nutritional and energetic value while respecting the plants and the environment.
