Grapes of Trebbiano, Malvasia, and San Colombano are harvested late, laid out on racks to dry for a few days to concentrate the sugars, and then they are fermented naturally in the traditional 'Caratelli' - small little Vin Santo barrels. Where this wine is then different to others is that at this stage the barrels are closed and not touched for three years. The wine hence develops a gorgeous oxidative profile. After three years, the wine is bottled, and then aged for a further two years at the winery before release. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose on this is intense.

This is a wine central to the identity of the Cinque Terre, a Unesco World Heritage region. The individual family methods for this wine have been handed down for generations to ensure the survival of its typicity and absolutely unique character. Made from vines grown on the edge of the deep blue water of the mediterranean, and from varieties that only exist in this forgotten corner of the viticultural world. In this case primarily Bosco and Rossese Bianco. The grapes are picked in late August and hung out to dry for 4-5 months. The berries are then individually removed, and footstomped for fermentation to kick off. The juice is then aged in tiny vessels (in this case pear and cherry barrels) and bottled after 18 months with zero additions. One of the best, and most unique sweet wines we've ever tried, period. It's not fortified (13.5% abv), it's sweet, fresh, salty, complex, stunning. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Heydi Bonanini, one of only a dozen growers still working the insane slopes of the Cinque Terre, and keeping alive a tradition well worth saving. Wines that speak of their sea cliffs origins, of salty winds, of hyper local grape varieties, and pure clarity. A grower for whom biodiversity is not just an aim but a way of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modal Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34766803796106,"sku":"","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/6758\/9770\/products\/Sciacchetra.jpg?v=1603015662"},{"product_id":"larchetipo-moscatello-selvatico-2021-sweet-sparkling-wine","title":"L'Archetipo - Moscatello Selvatico 2025 (Sweet Sparkling wine)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Puglia, Italy)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuper unusual yet incredibly moreish and drinkable.
