2023 Teroldego

A beautiful variety from Northern Italy, this is a rich deeply coloured wine with a fruit forward nature and balanced acidity. 

This wine was hand picked and destemmed into 1 tonne ferments. Rack and returns each day at the beginning of ferment then 5 minute pump overs twice at the end of ferment. Pressed in our basket press, settled then transfered into French oak puncheons and bariques. 

This is one half of a label, painted by Bridgette McNab and inspired by the Sicilian 'Teste di Moro'.

A love story between a girl living in Palermo and a Moorish soldie arer who fell madly in love with each other, until the girl found out the soldier had a wife and family back home. One night, in a fit of jealousy, she cut off his head. She then used it to plant her basil, everyone in the town was amazed at how beautiful it was growing and sculpted ceramic heads to plant their basil in. A beautiful twist of love and darkness.
