Individual Wines with Soul
Marcello is coming up with new wines each year through his creativity, insight and imagination.
Respecting the flow of nature, from the vineyards to the cellar, is one of the most important requirements for a spirited wine. We refuse to alter our wines by using additives or removing impurities. We do not filter, fine or clarify, and we don’t use cultured yeasts …. We understand “natural” as minimizing human intervention to only what is absolutely necessary.
Lively Wine takes time to mature, and we give it the time it needs. Before bottling our unfiltered and organic wines, while restricting Sulphur to a minimum, the wine from our hand-harvested grapes is aged in our wine cellar for at least six years.
Our wines are never enriched with sugar and are exclusively from our own vineyards.
Our collection would not be complete without the LADIV, an Orange Wine. Following an old Georgian tradition, where the grapes are not pressed before fermentation begins, the grapes macerate with all their solid parts, like seeds and skin, which is the normal procedure for red wine. After fermentation, the wine is matured in amphoras and after that in big oak casks. This method gives the wine that special orange color with golden glints, and a lot more aromas and tannins, which is very different from typical white wine.
Its opposite is the RUSET. These red grapes are pressed immediately after picking from the vineyard, as you would do for a white wine. This preserves its clear and light color.
Marcello is not limited in his creativity! His knowledge and experience enable him to guarantee outstanding and pure quality.
