Il Prodigo 2023 - Collecapretta

Il Prodigo - Collecatretta

Il Prodigo di Collecapretta is a white wine born from the revival of ancient, traditional Umbrian grape varieties—an expression of an artisanal approach deeply respectful of natural rhythms. After the harvest, the skins and must are immediately separated, initiating fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is left to age in a small fiberglass tank, where it continues its natural evolution. The wine undergoes only two rackings: the first via decanting and the second at the end of January. Every cellar operation is carried out with careful attention to lunar phases and cycles, reflecting a production philosophy that prioritizes respect for nature's timing. Bottling takes place without the addition of sulfites, preserving the wine's authentic identity and the character of its terroir. This is an extremely limited edition, comprising just 580 bottles,designed for those seeking artisanal wines that reflect their origins and tell the story of Umbrian tradition through an essential, natural interpretation.
