MR2 Vino Frizzante Romato '18

ABOUT INSOLENTE

“Insolente” in Italian has a meaning somewhat in between insolent, fearless and spontaneous and it summarizes the spirit and ethos of Luca Elettri’s wines. Luca and all of his family, who had before sold part of the grapes to the local cooperative and vinified the rest for themselves, lovingly farm a number of crus of elder vineyards (some over 60 years old) in Veneto’s classical Soave areal near Monforte d’Alpone. Work in the vineyard is super-natural and in accordance with biodynamic principles,  while in the cellar nothing is added or taken away, wild yeasts co-exist with no temperature control and SO2 at minimum quantity. Main varieties are the traditional Garganega, Tai Rosso, Merlot, Durella, Corvina, Rondinella and Pinot Grigio and each wine comes from a single specific cru, with a code in the label name indicating the family member in charge of that specific vineyard and how many wines came from it. These are wines brimming with life, bright conviviality, an unstoppable positive energy and solar dynamism.

MR2 VINO FRIZZANTE ROMATO '18

MR2 Ramato Insolente is a wild and fresh naturally sparkling wine from the ancient volcanic soils of the Soave Classico region. After the manual harvest, fermentation takes place spontaneously with skins and stalks for 22 days in cement tanks, vitrified at room temperature. Pinot Grigio rests on the lees until February when it is bottled with sweet must to start the second fermentation in bottles with its own yeasts. Notes of rosebush, apple crisp, tomato leaf and grapefruit rind.
