Winemaking: Organic Trebbiano & Pergolone grapes from 45 year old vines were hand harvested. Whole bunch maceration for 14 days before being pressed into stainless steel. Aged in tank for 15 months. No fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: Skin contact wine, bright orange in the glass. On the fun, fruity and aromatic side with zingy acidity. Notes of candied orange peel, lemon and dried flowers dominate. This is the first vintage of this wine and the name is a dedication to Zio Nicola, a retired winemaker who previously made wine from these same vines. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Giuseppe, Fabio, Luca & Adolfo are four friends from the town of Lanciano, southern Abruzzo. They got together to work the wines of retired winemaker Zio Nicola and produced a skin contact wine from the Trebbiano and Pergolone grape varieties.
