{"title":"Wild Arc Farm","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 2016, Todd Cavallo and Crystal Cornish packed up 30 combined years of city life and headed north to Pine Bush, a small town in Orange County at the edge of the Hudson Valley. They had no farming background to speak of, just a curiosity about fermentation and a belief that New York could produce wines worth drinking. What followed was Wild Arc Farm, a nine-and-a-half-acre experiment in regenerative viticulture that would inadvertently launch a national movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Arc produced 25 cases in its first year and scaled to over 1,200 cases as Cavallo moved to full-time winemaking. From the start, they sought out organic and transitioning growers across the Finger Lakes and Long Island rather than expand their own footprint. The operation now processes around 20 tons of fruit per year and produces roughly 24,000 bottles across wines, piquette, and cider annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/wild-arc-farm\"\u003eWild Arc Farm producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"teroldego-wild-arc-farm-new-york-natural-wine","title":"Wild Arc Farm Teroldego 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eWild Arc Farm's Teroldego 2018 is made from 100% Teroldego grapes grown on the North Fork of Long Island, sourced from the former Southold winery vineyards, on stony loam soils moderated by the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. Teroldego is a northern Italian variety native to Trentino-Alto Adige, and it is sparsely planted in the United States, with the North Fork proving a compatible home: the sandy loam soils, sea breeze, and early-ripening tendency of the variety align well with the region's maritime growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking at Wild Arc Farm is low-intervention throughout. The grapes were fermented 40% whole-cluster for five weeks with 20ppm sulfur added at crush, then pressed into old French oak barrels where they rested for 10 months before bottling. No fining or filtration was applied, and fermentation proceeded with native yeasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Arc Farm is a regenerative permaculture and viticulture project on roughly 10 acres in Pine Bush, Hudson Valley, run by Todd Cavallo and Crystal Cornish since 2016.
