"Funky" - Cantina Cinque Sensi

"Funky" - Cantina Cinque Sensi 

"Funky" evokes the winery's experimental approach to the winemaking of this ancient Lazio varietal. The grapes come from vineyards planted in 1943, which benefit from the thermoregulatory influence of the volcanic lake basin. The proximity to the lake ensures mild temperature fluctuations and a unique microclimate that favors slow and complete ripening, while the volcanic soils impart a distinctive minerality. Manual harvesting in small crates is followed by vinification using two distinct methods: half the grapes are pressed directly, and the other half macerate on the skins for 24 hours before pressing. The wine matures for eight months in stainless steel. Bottling is followed by eight months of bottle aging before release. This experimental wine demonstrates how double vinification and the longevity of the vineyards can lend structural complexity and territorial depth to this Lazio white wine, both ancient and modern in character.
