Altura 2018 Rosso Saverio

The Altura project is an homage to the island of Giglio and how it tranformed Francesco Carfagna's life.
This wine is a blend of 13 co-planted varietals including some white grapes. Isolated on the south side of the island, the only way to access the vines is to take a small dirt road that can only be navigated with four wheel drive then walk down to the vineyard. During harvest, cases are walked back up to the truck. Maceration is very long, usually about a year. The wine is only racked the following year's harvest to make room for the new crop. It ferments and ages in stainless steel. Small amount of sulphur is added at press.
