2021 | Buganza Uva e Mani ‘Talin’ | Piemonte

The Uva e Mani Talin takes its name from one of Emanueles great uncles, who lived in the early 1900s and was a true farmer and man of the land.He took deep pride in knowing the local flora and fauna as well as the native grapes that grew (and all their tiny variations from hill to hill, site tosite). He named every plant he ever found, and this wine is built in his honor – a bright and fresh representation of the Dolcetto grape, while remainingtrue to the structure and natural grip of this Italian variety. The fruit went through natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks and finished in only 6days, and then completed malolactic there as well. A rest over the winter in tank to help naturally clarify lasted for about 4 months before beingbottled without filtration and only a small amount of sulfites used. The result is vibrant and alive with fresh purple fruit, brambly spice, and thegorgeous aromatics of the countryside. The mouthfeel is easy to drink, full of fresh fruit and acidity, but still lined with tasty tannins to keep seriousnext to the food it may be consumed with.
