Cossineo 2019
Wine not completely dry due to a spontaneous stop of fermentation that left a residual sugar of about 5 g/l. alcohol powerful as usual, together with this residue, strong minerality and explosive freshness (with a pleasant hint of carbonic in most bottles, possibly avoidable with a caraffatura) determine a compulsive drink. The bouquet is already large but still not perfectly delineated, a note of aromatic grass is always gently evoked (it would be said thyme), but already explosive are the lime and a floral orange blossom; golden apple fruit and gentle bourdon of hazelnut. Brioche.
Producer
Igino Brutti e Cinzia-Cantina: Fontorfio
Wine cellar
Fontorfio is an ancient source located at the foot of the vineyards and the house that years ago we decided should be the place to spend the future years of our lives. Fontorfio is in Cossignano, a small medieval village in the Marche hinterland halfway between the Sibillini mountains and the sea. A country that has always lived of agriculture and Fontorfio was a farm that cultivated olive trees, cereals, grapes, produced wine and raised cattle. Here we arrived years ago, and here we are continuing old farmers’ work, maintaining their methods of processing, essentially manual, without the use of modern mechanics, without chemistry and with the intention of preserving the territory.
