'Raspato'
Sangiovese & Aleatico Slightly cloudy with an orangey-pink hue. A delicate spritz with fine well-lasting bubbles for a Pet Nat. Flavors of green apple, white peach, unripe melon give the mouth a blast of freshness whilst a touch of biscuit character adds complexity. Much cleaner and less funky than you would expect from a Pet Nat.
Harvest: by hand Winemaking: spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts Aging: méthode ancestrale Unfined/Unfiltered. No added SO2.

'Salto dei Cieco'
Vinification : Traditional in red, keeping the cap of the skins submerged, with daily pumping over. Maturation : In stainless steel tanks, left to decant and clarify naturally and bottled without filtration or stabilization during the waning phase of the moon, always on clear sky days.
The result is a red able to enclose in a single glass freshness and smoothness, drinkability and richness of fruit, making honor to the two varieties used with a round, persistent and slightly spicy sip.

Annesanti
‘It is not a matter of carrying out a process; it is a matter of living in symbiosis with nature to draw the best from it and then give it back". This, in a nutshell, is Fancesco Annesanti’s philosophy, a young, talented winemaker that in just few years made a name for himself, putting the Valnerina area of the Italian wine map. Organic veering towards biodynamic principles, limited use of sulphites, no filtrations of clarifications, use of different vessels for fermenting and ageing: Francesco’s approach, uncompromising and deeply rooted in farming traditions, aims to create wines that are authentic, expressive, and loyal to terroir.
