{"product_id":"moon-tonic-montonico-lammidia-natural-wine","title":"Moon Tonic Montonico 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoon Tonic is 100% Montonico, an ancient white-berried grape historically concentrated in the Teramo province of Abruzzo. The variety has documented roots in the region going back to at least 1615, was widely used as a blending and table grape, and nearly disappeared from commercial cultivation by the late 20th century. Today fewer than 204 hectares remain planted in Italy, almost entirely in Abruzzo on calcareous and clay soils between 300 and 700 meters elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLammidia vinifies whole bunches via carbonic maceration for approximately one week in cement tanks, then presses and ages the wine in the same vessel. Fermentation is spontaneous, driven by indigenous yeasts. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites. The brief skin contact gives the wine its faint amber tint and a soft, dusty texture without significant tannin extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Montonico shows white flowers, citrus pith, and a chalky mineral quality that reflects the calcareous soils of its origin. On the palate the wine is bright and lean, with lemon zest, orange blossom, and a clean saline finish. The naturally high acidity of the grape keeps the wine fresh and direct, and Lammidia's zero-intervention approach lets the variety speak without winemaking interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLammidia is based in Villa Celiera, a small village in the Pescara province within the Gran Sasso National Park, at approximately 714 meters above sea level. Davide Gentile and Marco Giuliani founded the project officially in 2013, farming organically with many biodynamic practices, working with purchased fruit from trusted growers across roughly five hectares of sites in Abruzzo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lammidia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40328950546631,"sku":"LAMMMOON19C","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/lammidia-moon-tonic-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630820450","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/moon-tonic-montonico-lammidia-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
