Litrotto Rosso 2020 - L' Archetipo

Litrotto Rosso - Archetipo

The "Litrotto Rosso" together with his brother "Litrotto Bianco" are the simplest and most immediate wines of L'Archetipo. The name is inspired by the particular one-liter format. The grapes used are a blend of Montepulciano, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivo and Susamaniello. The fermentation takes place in steel tanks for a period of about 20-30 days. Refine in the same tanks for a period of 18 months. The Litrotto Rosso is red-purple. The nose reveals pleasant notes of red fruits, with touches of Mediterranean stain and savory sensations. At the sip it is inviting, juicy, allowing it to show its fresh and fragrant aromas of forest fruit, field herbs and Mediterranean scrub with delicate background marine echoes. The taste is simple, juicy, light in body and with an extraordinary drink.

Service

We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine, but if left in the cellars a few years can give great emotions.

Pairings

It goes perfectly with starters of cured meats, pasta dishes, roast pork, well-matured cheeses.

After a few years of biodynamic realizes that there is still something that escapes and therefore, following the understanding of the thought of Masanobu Fukuoka, finally comes to practice sustainable agriculture altogether, in which the synergies between all the links of 'ecosystem are finally triggered. This is the synergistic gardening, where you come not to commit the biggest mistake that still takes place by practicing all the other types of agriculture (from conventional, to organic, to biodynamic): plowing. This new adventure is developed together with his wife Anna Maria and her four children: Carlo Nazarene, Domenico, Andrea, and Maria Clelia. And 'thanks to the constant and responsible for all of them that it was possible the construction of the basement, the entire tuff, where these precise climatic conditions it is possible the exploitation of the precious grapes of property without the use of chemicals. The entry in the company of the new generation, under the leadership of a large Francesco Valentino experiential baggage, is likely to provide impetus and vitality to the archetype.
