Frequently asked about Cirelli Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Anfora
How long does it stay on the skins?
A few hours after destemming, with the fruit going straight to the press before a soft pressing releases the juice.
Where does malolactic happen?
In the same terracotta amphorae where the wine ferments, and the wine stays there about six months, gaining complexity on the nose and persistence on the palate.
Is the vineyard certified?
The estate manages its soils organically and biodynamically, banning herbicides and synthetic fertilisers and using preparation 500.
