Winery
Seven friends with a passion for fermentations and an abandoned farmhouse to be recovered with more than seven hectares of land, once used as stables and milking. Thus was born the La Cattiva project, in Sammichele di Bari, natural wines and a great desire to experiment. The vineyards are all owned by Marianna Pastore Bovio, also'part of the project. All the plants are born organic, no treatment except sulfur and copper, totally manual processing and local grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, Aleatico, Montepulciano, Aglianico and Trebbiano. No selected yeasts, but carefully monitored spontaneous fermentations. No addition of sulfur and intense controls on temperatures and plant cleanliness. The'idea of "naughty" labels made by different artists also proved to be a great success.
Description
The grapes for the production of "La Spettinata" come from the vineyard in Sammichele and are vinified in white. 100% Trebbiano pugliese, this is a Pètillant Naturel" or Pet Nat from natural fermentation. A white of great freshness and endowed with fragrant and mineral notes.
Much of the wines will be a bit outside the box, they will escape easy categorization, some will be difficult to understand but ultimately they will be unique.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Deep golden yellow color, naturally cloudy
Fragrant, citrusy aromas with puffs of pink grapefruit and yellow pulp fruit.
The sip surprises with pleasant freshness and persistence
Storage time:
2-3 years
Vinification
Once vinified they leave the 30% of grapes on the skins for a weekend and then press them and leave the wine to mature in a steel vat for 6 months.
Zero added sulfites in its spontaneous fermentation in steel, and no other additives of any kind. It seems shy but is agile and direct in bringing out its character thanks to its excellent acidity.
