Description
Still organic white wine from Salento, Puglia, 11.5% ABV, produced by Archetipo. 100% Greco blend. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine born from synergistic agriculture, respectful of nature and the land. Manual harvest, second ten days of September. After mechanical crushing and destemming, the must, along with the skins, ferments spontaneously thanks to the addition of a pied de cuve containing indigenous yeasts. After 4-5 days of maceration with the skins, the skins are removed and fermentation continues for approximately 2 months at low temperatures (13-14°C). Natural decantation without fining agents. Unfiltered. Light-bodied and very fresh on the palate, it features a mineral aftertaste, balanced and clearly influenced by the grape variety. Fruity notes of green apple and pineapple, with floral hints and a subtle hint of honey.

This is the synergistic agriculture, with which we made no more the biggest mistake that still today we do, practicing all the other types of agriculture ( from conventional, to organic, to biodynamic): plowing.
