Stralunato 2021 - Il Torchio

Stralunato - Il Torchio

The "Stralunato" is a white wine made from Vermentino grapes with a small balance of white Moscato. Grapes that come from vines grown in a single plot located in Castelnuovo Magra on the Colli di Luni. After harvesting, the bunches are spontaneously fermented in contact with the skins for 4-5 days. The decanting is carried out following the phases of the moon (hence the name of the label) as required by the principles of biodynamic winemaking. No filtration or clarification. It is then aged for 6 months in steel before bottling. A complex, soft wine with a distinctly mineral finish.

Service

We taste it at 10/12 ° in tulip goblet. Daily wine but left a few years in the cellar can give you great emotions.

Pairing

Great with a salty salmon cake, fish dishes, to try with a fish soup.

Cellar: Il Torchio

ll Torchio is a young family-run business located in Castelnuovo Magra, in the province of La Spezia. The winery that was born from an initiative of Giorgio Tendola, precursor and forerunner of the cultivation and enhancement of Vermentino in the Colli di Luni, who died a few years ago. Today at the helm we find his grandchildren, Gilda and Edoardo, who in the wake of deep-rooted family traditions have chosen to continue along the path traced by Giorgio himself, carrying out the design and intentions. Gilda, with a degree in law, is responsible for the commercial and administrative aspects, while Edoardo is in charge of production, assisted by his uncle Claudio Musetti and Alessandro Chesi. 12 hectares of organically grown vineyards, all gathered in a single plot and all falling under the denomination of origin "Colli di Luni", cultivated with Vermentino, Canaiolo, Merlot and Sangiovese. In the cellar we try to intervene as little as possible with spontaneous fermentations and more or less long macerations in order to have very territorial wines enhanced by the lively and imaginative labels by Francesco Musante.
