This is not your usual bottle of Gerwürztraminer. Not the usual pleasantly soft and fragrant white that ladies or new sommeliers in search of inviting notes to describe to their friends and snacking companions like so much. What we are proposing here, in fact, is a Gerwürztraminer, but it has the particularity of being produced in Lazio, thanks to the unique climate of the Castel Franco area, with strong temperature variations between day and night, and using the technique of long skin maceration. In this case 21 days. The result is a special Orange wine called 'Unplugged', like the acoustic versions of songs. A straightforward and unconventional wine, produced in only 1000 bottles, destined for an audience of super enthusiasts and experts. A perfect wine for meditation, but which can also be served with a board of medium-aged or blue cheeses. Definitely worth trying.
We are in the Castel Franco area, in the heart of Lazio, one of the many corners of Italy with a truly excellent habitat for the cultivation of vines and olive trees. Here Cantina Le Macchie, owned by the Di Carlo family, can today count on vineyards that extend over the hills between the Rieti basin and Mount Terminillo. The altitude is between 610 and 1075 metres above sea level, with good exposures towards the south occupied by the later-ripening vines, and others towards the south-west where the more precocious varieties are found. The soil, rich in minerals, favours the growth and development of high quality grapes. It produces wines characterised by a fine freshness and flavour. In view of the altitude of the vineyards, their slope and the difficulty of working them, the winery is a member of Cervim, the certification body for Eroica viticulture.
