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
La Cattiva is a small story of great encounters. From Rome to Bari, via Sicily, Abruzzo and New York. Seven very different people who magically are brought together and brought into agreement only by wine from a vineyard in Sammichele. This wine is precisely the meeting point. In its simplicity and directness we find different characters but in perfect harmony with each other. Garganega grapes from the Apulian countryside, the minerality of these white grapes, direct-pressed 40% and macerated 40% come together creating a new, bewitching harmony.
