The vineyard sits at approximately 120 meters elevation on soils of clay, loam, and sand in roughly equal proportions, with northeast and southeast exposures. Roberto Moretti and Lucia Mori farm the estate biodynamically using only small amounts of copper and sulfur, no herbicides, no pesticides, and no chemical fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking here is the defining act: grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, then macerated on their skins for approximately 9 months with daily punchdowns and pump-overs to extract color and texture. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts only. The wine is then aged in old oak and stainless steel, bottled without fining or filtration, and contains less than 10 mg\/L of sulfites with none added. It is suitable for vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Ambrato pours a deep golden amber. The nose opens on dried apricot, honey, candied orange peel, and hay, with ginger and bergamot adding lift. The palate is substantial, with a tannic grip that is firm but not aggressive, lively citrus-driven acidity, and a long finish that turns toward tobacco and rhubarb. The 9-month maceration gives this wine a structure closer to a medium-bodied red than a conventional white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Sine Felle comes from a late-16th-century ex libris bookplate discovered in the foundations of the cellar during renovation. In Latin it means \"without bitterness\" — a phrase first recorded in the writings of the Roman physician Cornelius Celsus. Podere Casaccia is a member of Vinnatur. The wine is classified as IGT Toscana Bianco, as its unconventional production method falls outside any stricter appellation rules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Podere Casaccia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34952506376344,"sku":"SINEAMBR18C","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/podere-casaccia-sine-felle-ambrato-orange-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187070","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/sine-felle-ambrato-podere-casaccia-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
