NV Cirelli Orange Trebbiano 'Macerated'

100% biodynamically farmed Trebbiano from chalky limestone soils. Fully destemmed, fermented with native yeasts and given one month of skin contact in stainless steel. Ages on its lees for four months after racking. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphur. 

Aromas of peaches, apricots, and wild meadow flowers, followed by surprising layers of orange marmalade, dried apricot, golden apples, toasted almonds and notes of grapefruit, lemon, wildflower and peach. Not too extracted, not too macerated. Highly drinkable, with pleasant acidity and a touch of minerality, complemented by a subtle herbal finish and a delicious aftertaste.

Agricola Cirelli is an organic farm certified by IMC, surrounded by 75 acres of land. All of its production is designed to respect the natural cycles of the olive trees, vineyards, horticultural crops and the animal breeding. Crop rotation, natural fertilization, and free range animal grazing are Agricola Cirelli’s “techniques” of production. This harmonious environment creates olive oil, wine, vegetables, fruit and meats of supreme quality. The farm grows its food and wine in total respect of organic agriculture. Nature sets the rules and it dictates the rhythm of every activity. The animals’ interaction with the land offer natural grazing and fertilization of the vines, which means there is no need to use harmful chemical substances. Francesco purchased the land in 2003 right after his graduation in Economics at a prestigious European university. Before this, he was a student at the Italian Navy College. He decided to dedicate himself to organic agriculture because of the profound values of working the land (“Right after God the farmer comes next” he was told once). He is now helped out by his fiancée, Michela.
