CRETAPAGLIA, Folk

Antonello Canonico, owner and winemaker of Cretapaglia, was looking to create something new with this creation. Drinkable and still terroir specific. Being a lover of the local Calabrian varieties that have almost disappeared, the very rare Pecorello grape felt like the perfect one as it has thick skins and is capable of producing very elegant white wines. The result is a great amber wine with no sulfites added at any point. Refreshing but still deep and intense, with tropical hints at the nose.
Very drinkable compared to the conventional “orange wine” style.
Only 1284 bottles were made for this 2021 edition. If you want to taste all this wine has to offer, do not drink it very cold.
Vinification:
Slight maceration on his skin that gives a wonderful and intense colour… and then relaxing in stainless steel tank for the necessary time.
