2022 Ticin Pošip Sauvage

Co-fermented with about 10% of Maraština for balance, and despite the richness and color, was foot trodden and only macerated for 3 days on the skins. Everything was basket pressed by hand into stainless steel and some barrels and aged for 1 year on the lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered by hand. The 2022 has a lovely "Žutina" (aka amber/yellowness) and with a little added bottle aging, it is in an absolutely beautiful place. While less than 13% alcohol, there is a persistence to Pošip that isn’t followed by too much weight, density or heat. It’s truly a big white built for the olive oil, octopus, asparagus, anchovies and wild greens from the Island.
