The grapes come from Guttarolo's organically farmed vineyards on the Murge plateau outside Gioia del Colle, sitting at roughly 400 meters above sea level on thin, red iron-rich soils over a karst limestone base. Adriatic and Ionian sea breezes cool the site through the growing season, and significant day-to-night temperature swings preserve acidity in an otherwise hot southern Italian climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the 2019 vintage, Verdeca fermented on the skins for five days using only indigenous yeasts, then was transferred to terracotta amphorae for two months of aging. Malolactic fermentation begins while the wine is still in skin contact. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined with no added sulfites. Only 800 bottles were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result sits between white and orange wine in style: a hazy peach-amber color, with notes of bergamot, spice, citrus pith, and chalky minerality. Five days of skin contact builds fine tannins and texture without overwhelming the grape's natural freshness and salinity. Verdeca's characteristically high acidity keeps the wine taut and food-friendly despite the warm growing region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cristiano Guttarolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36006715293848,"sku":"GUTTANFO19C","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/cristiano-guttarolo-anfora-italy-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818453","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/amphora-bianco-cristiano-guttarolo-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
