The “Trebbianico” La Cattiva is a very special wine that comes from the collaboration between the owners of the Apulian winery and their friends at the estate “Indigeno”, located in Abruzzo. Two different producers and two different regions, to create a common project. The red grapes come from the vineyards of La Cattiva, while the white grapes come from the Ortona vineyards of the Abruzzo winery. But the peculiarities do not end here. The wine is made according to the tradition of the French region of Beaujolais, using the carbonic maceration process. A choice that allows for the preservation of the fruity fragrance of the grapes and provides a very soft profile, thanks to a very light extraction of tannins.
The “Trebbianico” La Cattiva originates from an estate that took its name from an ancient farmhouse located in Sammichele di Bari, in the area of Gioia del Colle. The project was born from a group of friends who in 2018 began renting some vineyards. Today the estate extends over 7 hectares, with vineyards cultivated at an altitude of 280 meters above sea level, on poor and stony calcareous soils. Among the rows, the principles of organic farming are followed, using only sulfur and copper. Regarding the choice of grape varieties, La Cattiva has decided to focus on those typical of the area: Primitivo, Negroamaro, Aleatico, Montepulciano, Aglianico, Trebbiano, Malvasia Bianca, Malvasia Nera. To create the cuvée, all the grapes undergo carbonic maceration as whole clusters for a period of one week. The process then continues with spontaneous fermentation of the must using only indigenous yeasts in steel tanks. The wine is bottled after a few months of aging.
