Led by Enio Ferretti, a passionate advocate for biodiversity and organic viticulture, the estate operates as a polycultural farm where vineyards co-exist alongside grain fields, orchards, and woods. Certified organic since the 1980s, Ferretti eschews synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, farming native grapes on steep clay-limestone slopes. In the cellar, winemaking is strictly hands-off: wild-yeast spontaneous fermentations in concrete and stainless steel tanks, long contact on the fine lees, no oak masking, no fining, and minimal sulfur additions at bottling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\"Il Monte\" is La Morella’s single-vineyard, low-intervention expression of Cortese—the indigenous white grape best known for Gavi, but reaching a weightier, more textural dimension in the clay-chalk soils of Colli Tortonesi. Sourced from high-elevation organically farmed vines, the hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts in concrete vats. The wine rests on its fine lees for several months to build natural body and complexity without losing its electric structure. Bottled unfined and lightly filtered, the 2025 vintage balances vibrant, sun-ripened orchard fruit and citrus zest with a firm, chalky mineral spine and a refreshing, bone-dry finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Morella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49979156889749,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/azienda-agricola-la-morella-cortese-il-monte-2025-750ml-white-wine-bottle-12-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
