Description
The white 'Speri' is the orange label signed by Antonio Sauchella and Angelo Iannotti of Terrae Laboriae. This special name means »orange« in Georgian and was chosen by the two producers as a tribute to the ancient method of amphora winemaking and to orange wines.
Speri is an intriguing take on pure Falanghina, the typical Campanian grape, ideal for those seeking an unconventional experience that reflects a clean, respectful approach to the raw material: enveloping and well structured, it releases evolved notes without sacrificing freshness. The grapes come from a special area of the region called Sannio, where the vines, planted on mainly clay and limestone soils, benefit from the Mediterranean sun and the constant breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. Antonio and Angelo work the vineyards naturally, without chemicals or mechanisation. At harvest, only the best grapes are selected by hand, and the grapes are gently crushed in the winery.
During spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the skins macerate with the must for at least four weeks.
This orange wine is then aged in terracotta amphorae (qvevri) for 12 months before being bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulphites. In the glass it has an intense, hazy orange colour; on the nose, fresh notes of orange and grapefruit balance those of dried and candied fruit, especially apricot, dates and figs. In the background the nose reveals a light smoky note. The palate is enveloping, well structured and full-bodied, with well-integrated, velvety tannins, a balance of complexity and freshness, and a deep, aromatic finish. The close is lightly herbaceous with an aftertaste of bitter almonds. An ideal companion to vegetable dishes, white meat and mature cheeses.
