2023 | Santa Giustina Ortrugo | Emilia-Romagna
Santa Giustina’s 2023 Ortrugo Vivace is a stunning bottling from the estate, offering a delightful white wine from a very native varietal. The grapes reach optimal ripeness in their organic vineyard before being hand-harvested and immediately brought into the cellar. The entire clusters are gently pressed, and then the grapes and must are left to rest at a low temperature for 18-24 hours together (Pellicular Maceration), before being completely pressed off the skins for fermentation in stainless steel. Finished for many days in Charmat tanks, and bringing the wine to about 1.9 atmospheres of pressure, this dazzling white has a lovely light ‘vivace’ spritz in the glass. A complex nose of sage and roses are backed by tree and citrus fruits, as it leads to the well-balanced palate of bright citrus acidity, round fruit flavors, and a clean persistent finish. A delightful white for many types of cuisine at the table.
