Grape Variety: Procanico

Producer: Andrea Occhipinti 

Region: Gradoli, Lazio, Italy

Wild Scale: 4/5

12.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Procanico grapes grown on volcanic soils were harvested by hand and de-stemmed. 5 day maceration and fermented with indigenous yeast in cement tanks. Aged for 7 months before bottling. No fining or filtration and just a small amount of sulphur.

This Wine: Natural wine that drinks more like a textured white than a full-on skin contact. Sottobanco means 'under the table'. This was a wine previously just held for friends and close associates but is now available for all! Mineral-driven with floral and herbal elements that reflects this region of Italy perfectly. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Andrea Occhipinti produces natural wine from the unique microclimate that surrounds Lake Bolsena in Lazo, just north of Rome. The volcanic soils of this region and elevation of nearly 500m above sea level provide excellent growing conditions for indigenous grape varieties such as Procanico, Aleatico and Grechetto.
