Cirelli, Vino Bianco Frizzante NV

Trebbiano

Abruzzo, Italy

Trebbiano grapes are manually harvested in early September to retain their natural acidity and fresh fruit aromatics. They are gently pressed and the wines are transferred to stainless steel tanks with one portion kept aside at low temperatures so that the alcoholic fermentation does not take off. Once the large tank is fermented mostly dry, it is blended with sweet grape must and bottled. It will be slightly cloudy as the wine is not disgorged after the second fermentation that takes place in the bottle. VEGAN.

Agricola Cirelli is an organic farm certified by IMC (doc. n.3194 RV.01), surrounded by 23 hectares of land. All of its production is designed to respect the natural cycles of the olive trees, vineyards, horticultural crops and the animal breeding. Crop rotation, natural fertilization, and free range animal grazing are Agricola Cirelli’s “techniques” of production. This harmonious environment creates olive oil, wine, vegetables, fruit and meats of supreme quality.

The farm grows its food and wine in total respect of organic agriculture. Nature sets the rules and it dictates the rhythm of every activity. The animals’ interaction with the land offer natural grazing and fertilization of the vines, which means there is no need to use harmful chemical substances.

Francesco purchased the land in 2003 right after his graduation in Economics at a prestigious European university. Before this, he was a student at the Italian Navy College. He decided to dedicate himself to organic agriculture because of the profound values of working the land. He is helped out by his wife, Michela.
