Il Raglio dell’Asino 2020 - L' Acino

The Raglio dell'Asino - L'Acino

The Raglio dell'Asino is the first wine dedicated to the animal that has always accompanied the work of the farmer and with the dry stone walls it represents the peoples of the Mediterranean. Made with Greco Bianco that comes from vineyards located at 650 m.s.l.m. in the Pollino National Park. Aging for 1 year in stainless steel tanks and 6 months in bottle. A wine that gives notes of ripe yellow flesh, but also floral and almond as well as a pleasant herbaceous recall. With a sip, it has a strong acidity, good minerality and a long finish. A fascinating and absolutely unapproved wine.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Wine that lends itself to fish appetizers, grilled fish, to try with semi-mature cheeses.

Winery: L 'Acino

The L’Acino winery is located in on the Piana di Sibari, between the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian, between the Pollino and the Sila, areas where there is a small vineyard for self-consumption next to each house. L'Acino was born in 2006 from an idea by Dino Briglio who decides to produce wine in a hard, harsh and difficult land, but also as generous as Calabria can be. They immediately decided to focus on biodynamic viticulture that respected nature, the earth and restored dignity to a territory. 8 hectares are cultivated mainly with ancient Calabrian autochthonous vines; Mantonico, Guarnaccia Bianca and Greco the other grape variety grown is Magliocco. Territorial wines, where the roots sink into the earth and absorb the history and uniqueness of this land enriching the wines with contrast.
