Ferrigno Ribelà 2022

The "Ferrigno" from Ribelà is a winey and fragrant red, a joyful squeeze of small red fruits enriched by mineral puffs. The Ribelà winery was founded in 2014, from the common will of Chiara and Daniele, partners in life as well as in the winemaking project. The name chosen for the winery derives from the dialect term ribelare, which means to cover, clearly referring to the act of replenishing the soil around the plant with a hoe or spade. Just 2 hectares of vineyard, cultivated clearly and respectfully, following the principles of biodynamic agriculture to preserve the vitality of the soil, and the choice to rely on the consultancy of Danilo Marcucci, a brilliant oenologist from central Italy, make this small Lazio winery a vibrant artisanal reality. The bottled liquids are therefore the direct consequence, capable of combining straightforwardness and fruit vivacity with a refreshing taste cohesion.

The red "Ferrigno" is obtained from a blend consisting of pure Cesanese Comunie grapes.coming from vineyards that rest on the volcanic soils of the Colli Albani. In the vineyard, no chemical substances, pesticides, or herbicides are used, but the help of biodynamic preparations is employed, along with a bit of copper and sulfur. In the winery, the process continues with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins for 6 days, followed by aging for several months in cherry wood barrels and fiberglass tanks.

The wine "Ferrigno" presents itself in the glass with a bright and vital ruby color. Adjectives that can also be attributed to the olfactory impact, where the liquid joyfully unfolds references to berries, earth, graphite, and violet, creating a festive and straightforward profile. The sip, juicy and invigorating, is characterized by an agile and lively physique that gives the liquid an irresistible drinkability.
