Cirelli | Abruzzo | Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Amphora | 2022 | 750ml | bio

Description

Only eight kilometres from the sea, between national parks and the gentle foothills of Abruzzo, lies the “farm” of Francesco Cirelli. Francesco lives biodynamic farming as a holistic concept. In addition to the 4 hectares of vineyards, he also cultivates 4 hectares of fig trees, one hectare of olive trees, and 13 hectares of cereals. On top of that, he keeps a small herd of goats and geese, and a bed & breakfast lets visitors share in this gem. He vinifies his wines in concrete, steel tanks, and 800-litre amphorae from Florence. In the cellar, fermentation is spontaneous, with a maceration period of 15 days for the red wines. The whites stay on the skins for only one night before being pressed with a traditional basket press. In some years Francesco coarsely filters his wines, but never the amphora wines. All wines are bottled unfined.
