Accamilla Camerlengo 2022

The Accamilla di Camerlengo is a macerated white wine that Antonio wanted to dedicate to his little dog, after whom it is named. Furthermore, the foundation of this wine is the desire to return to tradition, which did not foresee the separation between the solid part of the grape and the must during the vinification of white grape clusters.

The 20-30 year old vines that give birth to the grapes from which this wine is made are predominantly Malvasia di Rapolla, Santa Sofia, a variety of Fiano, and Cinguli, a variety of Trebbiano Toscano. The soil on which the vineyards are rooted is volcanic, with tuffaceous and calcareous composition, situated at an altitude of about 350 meters. Attention to the environment is a priority for the winery, and the desire to obtain identity-driven grapes is evidenced by the organic regime followed between the rows and the care with which the work is carried out. It is worth noting that the winery itself has been designed by a Roman architect in a functional way; not by chance, the walls and floor are covered in crushed terracotta, in such a way as to optimally allow the environment in which the wines rest to breathe. The processes related to vinification are never invasive. The grapes are destemmed and crushed and sent to traditional chestnut vats to undergo alcoholic fermentation, which occurs in a spontaneous contact with the skins for 18 days. After a light pressing, the wine is racked, without undergoing clarifications and filtrations. The aging takes place for a short period of 2 months in French oak tonneaux. The addition of sulfur is minimal. The production of this wine pearl is always limited. We recommend decanting it, or, once the natural residues have settled at the bottom of the bottle, gently pour the wine into the glass.

fresh, moderately soft and characterized by a non-invasive astringency attributable to the tannin of the grapes. Enjoyable!
