{"product_id":"primo-aprile-bianco-cantina-giardino-natural-wine","title":"Primo Aprile Bianco 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrimo Aprile Bianco is made from 100% Rovello Bianco, a near-extinct indigenous white grape of Irpinia historically called Grecomusc'. The variety was formally added to Italy's official register of autochthonous grapes in 2009. Fruit comes from a 90-year-old parcel grown over volcanic soils in the Taurasi zone of Irpinia, Campania. The grape's unusually large skin-to-pulp ratio means yields are low and skin contact has an outsized effect on texture and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the 2018 vintage, the grapes were macerated on the skins for 8 days, then hand-pressed with a vertical wooden press. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, carried out in a combination of chestnut, acacia, and Slavonian oak casks. The wine aged 8 months in chestnut casks followed by 3 months in bottle. No fining or filtration before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a pale amber, lightly tannic white with high acidity, mineral depth, and aromatic lift. Expect notes of dried citrus peel, apricot, yellow flowers, and a saline, smoky finish that reflects the volcanic soils. At 11.5% ABV it is light on its feet while remaining textured and complex from the extended skin contact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Giardino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40170824859847,"sku":"GIARPRIM18C","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/cantina-giardino-primoaprile-greco-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630820260","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/primo-aprile-bianco-cantina-giardino-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
