THE WINE
The Signore of the Ancarani winery is produces with 100% Famoso grapes. We are in Emila Romagna and more precisely in Oriolo dei Fichi in the province of Ravenna. Here, the hilly terroir, we are about 130 meters above sea level, is mainly sandy with the presence of silt and clay. The Ancarani winery embraces the philosophy of the Italian Independent Winegrowers (which they are part of); total respect for nature, elimination of all chemical products both in the vineyard and in the cellar; long macerations to transfer all the grape components to the wine and reduction on the usege of sulphites.
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is strictly manual and takes place in the first weeks of September. Only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking. Once in the cellar the grapes are de-stemmed and softly pressed; a short stop in the press follows for a delicate extraction of the aromas and the fermentation at controlled temperature. The wine then matures for 2 months on indigenous yeasts. It decants and refines in concrete tanks to ensure natural clarification and the evolution of the structure. After bottling, the wine rests for at least 2 months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
THE TASTING
Pale straw yellow. The aroma is elegant with pleasant hints of lime blossom, hawthorn and jasmine which alternate with fruity notes of green apple and pear. Intense, fresh and fragrant on the palate. Good structure that gives. Closing with a savory note.
