Sotto Le Stelle Maturano IGT Bio

In the hilltop village of Picinisco, the award-winning Hotel Sotto Le Stelle and its unique wine, Sotto Le Stelle, thrive. The state-of-the-art cellar, built on ancient ruins, produces an elegant wine with deep gold colour and complex flavours, including musk, stone fruit, and minerality. It offers a vibrant palate and is recommended for ageing to fully develop its potential. Contact with skins and stalks at 8°C for 3 days. Whole bunches are pressed at low pressure and the must is left to settle for 3 days. The must is added to the starter prepared from the same batch of unpressed grapes, no added yeasts. Fermentation is at 18°C for 25 days. Then wine spends 12months+ on the fine lees in concrete vats. Then in bottle for 36 months before release.

"A brilliant plum skin, creamy textured lemon and grapefruit flavoured wine with graphite and brilliant acidity. This is a belting wine that you simply must buy. 92/100" Peter Wood, St Andrews Wine Company
