4.1
A Demûa is made of an interesting set of grapes - Riesling, Verdea, Bosco, Timorassa and Moscatella. Intense skin contact wine. Peach-flavoured ice tea, dried medicinal flowers, soaked apples, baked apples, honey, mushrooms and wet cellar. Fresh, elevated and tannic, but overall well balanced with a long and persistent aftertaste.
About
Over 100 years old vines. The odd combo of grapes in this wine (Timorasso, Verdea, Bosco, Riesling, Chasselas) are all co-planted together in the Filagnotti vineyard. They existed well before Stefano started working this land in the 80's. No one knows why these grapes were chosen. The vines are planted in deep clay with iron oxide. Nine months of maceration on the skins in botti with a submerged cap. After a racking, the wine ages on its lees for another two months.
