{"title":"Tenuta l'Armonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndrea Pendin describes himself as a \"Wine Chef,\" and the analogy fits. Before founding Tenuta l'Armonia in 2010, he studied Gastronomic Sciences and spent years in kitchens before realising that his real creative medium was the vineyard. Based in Montecchio Maggiore, between Verona and Padua in the Vicenza hills, he has spent the years since building one of the most talked-about small natural wine estates in the Veneto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenuta l'Armonia farms dark volcanic soils with a full biodynamic and regenerative approach, avoiding selected yeasts, clarifying agents, and stabilisers, and minimising sulfite use to the absolute minimum. Beyond wine, the property produces ancient wheat flour, olive oil, and organic vegetables, all part of a vision of the estate as a self-sustaining agricultural system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/tenuta-larmonia\"\u003eTenuta l'Armonia producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pop-frizzi-tenuta-larmonia-natural-wine","title":"Tenuta l'Armonia Frizzi Pop 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrizzi Pop is a pet-nat frizzante made from 60% Pinot Nero and 40% Durella grown on volcanic soils in the Vicenza hills around Montecchio Maggiore. Vines range from 10 to 50 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested in early September, destemmed, and soft-pressed directly without skin contact. Pinot Nero and Durella ferment separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks kept below 30°C (85°F) over 8 to 10 months, using only wild ambient yeasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore bottling, a portion of frozen must from the same 2018 vintage is added to each bottle to supply the residual sugar needed for secondary fermentation. The wine referments in bottle in the traditional colfondo style, a method native to the Veneto, and is never disgorged. The result is a lightly cloudy, fine-perlage sparkling wine with zero added SO2, unfined and unfiltered. Total sulfites remain below 20 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color is a pale rose-gold with a faint copper tint, the result of gentle pressing of the Pinot Nero rather than maceration. On the nose: stone fruit marmalade, dried red berries, and mineral lift from the basalt-rich volcanic soils. The palate is lean, crisp, and lively at 11.5% ABV, with the Durella's naturally sharp acidity keeping everything taut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenuta l'Armonia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39810926903495,"sku":"ARMOFRIZ18C","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/armonia-wine-frizzi-pop-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186185"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/tenuta-l-armonia.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
