Marco Rizzardi and his father Aurelio restored a 5 hectare

Marco Rizzardi and his father Aurelio restored a 5 hectare farm in the village of Pastorello [40 minutes south of Parma] that had been abandoned for over 50 years. They planted 1 hectare of vines on a terrace 500 meters in elevation overlooking the Parma stream, surrounded by woods and meadows. biodynamic, organic, minimal intervention Vines are in calcareous soil with marl outcroppings [in ancient times there was a lime quarry there]. Skin maceration for “a few days”, aged in steel, refermented with its on yeasts in the bottle the following Spring. “We do not use additives, clarifiers, stabilizers, yeasts or enzymes and we do not filter wines.” Only 1500 bottles made. Gold orange in colour, with aromas of lemon, hay, clay minerality and Brothers Johnson funk. A play between saline minerality and creamy honey compliments lemon, mandarin orange, pink grapefruit, green papaya and tangy acidity. Good fizz runs through to mint and lemon on the chalky mineral finish. Crisp and fresh. 100% Sauvignon Blanc 12% Alcohol Crocizia ‘sól e stéli’ Emilia IGT 2019 #vinobiologico #vinvivant #metodoclassico #biodynamicwine #lowintervention #emiliawine #nofilter #vinnaturel #vinobiodinamico #drinkbetterwine #sparklingwine #skincontactwine #vinbio #vinoitaliano #orangewine #vinbiodynamique #vinnature #vinbiologique #winereview #italianwinelover #instavino #orangeglou #vinofrizzante #winestagram #winelabel #sauvignonblanc #solesteli #crocizia #caravino
