2023 | Santa Giustina Ortrugo | Emilia-Romagna

Santa Giustinas 2023 Ortrugo Vivace is a stunning bottling from the estate, offering a delightful white wine from a very native varietal. The grapesreach optimal ripeness in their organic vineyard before being hand-harvested and immediately brought into the cellar. The entire clusters are gentlypressed, and then the grapes and must are left to rest at a low temperature for 18-24 hours together (Pellicular Maceration), before being completelypressed off the skins for fermentation in stainless steel. Finished for many days in Charmat tanks, and bringing the wine to about 1.9 atmospheresof pressure, this dazzling white has a lovely light vivace spritz in the glass. A complex nose of sage and roses are backed by tree and citrus fruits,as it leads to the well-balanced palate of bright citrus acidity, round fruit flavors, and a clean persistent finish. A delightful white for many types ofcuisine at the table.
