Moscato / Glera
Uma 2023
Faedesfa

Grape Variety: Moscato, Glera, Apples

Producer: Faedesfa (Alberto Buratti)

Region:  Rovolon, Colli Euganei, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 5/5

Winemaking: Organic Moscato and Glera grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation on the skins with indigenous yeast. Apple juice was added to the wine before bottling which kick started fermentation inside the bottle. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural orange wine with a lightly sparkling or 'frizzante' character. Full of vibrant apricot fruit with lively aromatics. Like most of Alberto's wines, it's wild but in balance. Another example of his brilliant, creative winemaking. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Alberto Buratti farms just over 3 hectares of vines in the Colli Euganei region of Veneto. He grew up around these vineyards when his Grandfather worked them but it wasn't until 2019 that he took the plunge to take over full time. Now he works with local and international grape varieties that he grows organically and doesn't add anything in the winemaking process. He loves taking risks and continually looks to challenge himself in order to produce the most characterful wines possible. He is the nephew to fellow Venetian winemaker, Marco Buratti.
