Alchimia Cantina Urbana
Italy
Abruzzo
Born of a gentle encounter between the assurance of long experience - ten years of production and various collaborations with other winemakers - and the freshness of a young blossoming - that is to say, that of an official winery opened barely two years ago - the bottles of theAlchimia Cantina Urbana promise to broaden the horizons of even the most seasoned among you.
Matteo Cacciagrano took his time, it's true. A decade of partnerships and various explorations before deciding to transform his stock-filled cellar into a wine cellar. The vineyards are located in the Peligna valleys - the birthplace of molto famoso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, no less - and Pescara.
We're right in the middle of the east coast of the little boot. The vineyards are bathed in a Mediterranean climate and are rooted in mountainous terrain, where rainfall is higher than elsewhere in Italy, and temperatures a little lower. Malvasia, Moscato, Pecorino, Chardonnay and Passerina are the main white-berry grape varieties grown here.
And by the way, how do these bottles look?
Visit Pietra Filosofale is a pearl of Montepulciano from Pratola Peligna, to be enjoyed in its pinkish color. Aged in silos for six months, after pressing without skins, no inputs, no filtration or clarification - typical of the house.
In the 50s, many of the region's natives set sail to emigrate, mainly to Venezuela. But it's not to this Latin American country that the all-special sobriquet we're about to talk about echoes, but to Mexico. And yes, the Mescalito takes us far, far away to the "papillonnaire" valleys... A Merlot which, after a maceration (this time with skins) of just seven days, undergoes spontaneous fermentation. This stellar little gem promises to quench our thirst under summer skies!
And that's not all, of course... you'll find two more Montepulciano variations (from the limestone soils of San Giovanni in particular), a fresh Trebbiano and a Passerina nourished by clay soil and Matteo's passionate love. We'll let you taste them and let us know how they turn out.
