Pioneering winemaker, clay amphora innovator and all-around

Pioneering winemaker, clay amphora innovator and all-around rock star of Abruzzo, Francesco Cirelli created @lacollinabiologica as an incubator for sharing sustainable farming ideas and initiatives. Hand-harvested grapes are from vines 7 years in age, in calcium rich, clay soils. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, aged for 6 months in stainless steel. Unfined, unfiltered. Inky red violet in colour, with aromas of cherry, black pepper, a wisp of campfire smoke and rosemary. Blackberry, red currant, cherry, pomegranate, bramble and earth glide across grippy tannins and fresh acidity. Dried currant and peppery spice linger on the tangy finish. Round, juicy and plush. 100% Montepulciano 13% Alcohol Cirelli La Collina Biologica Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC 2018 #vinobiologico #vinvivant #abruzzowine #vinnaturel #biodynamicwine #organicwine #montepulcianodabruzzo #vinnature #lowinterventionwine #drinkbetterwine #vinoitaliano #vinoabruzzese #vinorosso #winelabel #winereview #italianwinelover #instavino #redwine #winestagram #instawine #montepulciano #lacollinabiologica #francescocirelli #caravino
