X•mf
from “ Perpatiara” Single Vineyard
A particular wine with rose, truffle and dried fig aromas.
Winemaking
Gentle “orange” vinification process, though the Moschofilero is a grey-skinned and not white variety. Grapes of best quality from privately-owned vineyards are harvested after approaching the maximum of maturity. A long extraction with a part of stems lasts for 20 days and the fermentation is spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts. Afterwards, the wine is transferred for maturation in clay amphoras. After 6 months of maturation, it is bottled unfiltered and without any fining agents. The philosophy for the X•mf is oriented to a low intervention winemaking. The bottled wine ages for a long time in the winery’s cellar room.
