'Campo delle Oche' Fattoria San Lorenzo 2020

Fattoria San Lorenzo's "Campo delle Oche" is a safe and authentic choice if you want a precious white wine, among the best in this appellation. A safe harbour for those who want cheerfulness, like that of its winemaker, Natalino Crognaletti. This wine started as a "reserve," then deliberately downgraded by the winery as "superior."

This white always comes from the "Le Oche" vineyard in Montecarotto. The grapes are purposefully selected, one or two per plant maximum, and destined for the next vinification stage. The vineyard's exposure is southwest, and the soil is sandy and clayey at an altitude of 380 meters. Biodynamic and organic cultivation is not a choice of the moment; it is simply doing well and good for the environment and the vine itself. Nature and expectation. Respect for natural rhythms in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery. Making wine the old-fashioned way. Fermentation occurs only through indigenous yeasts in steel, with maceration on the skins for 20 days. Malolactic fermentation was carried out. The ageing period is divided into three stages: 2 months in cement, 36 months in steel on the yeasts, and then 6 months in the bottle.

Verdicchio "Campo delle Oche" is a deep straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose chases nuances of spices, herbs and hay. Valuable complexity of ripe fruit notes, acacia, almond, and chamomile, with hints of honey and saffron. Significant alcohol content on the palate to support a warm, marine and savoury, opulent sip, with clearly noticeable fruit and great potential, remarkable persistence and spicy, almondy returns. Pervasive and of rustic merit!
