Founded in 2003 by enologist Antonio di Gruttola, his wife Daniela, and a tight-knit circle of friends, the project was born out of an urgent mission to rescue and preserve ancient, forgotten vineyards (many over 50 to 100 years old). Antonio and Daniela collaborate with local contadini (farmers) who have practiced traditional farming for generations, actively protecting low-yielding native varieties like Aglianico, Coda di Volpe, Greco, and Fiano from commercial uprooting. In their cellar, winemaking is an instinctual, uncompromised craft. They utilize a diverse collection of amphorae, fiberglass, and local wood barrels (such as chestnut and cherry), entirely rejecting filtration, clarification, and synthetic inputs under a strict zero-zero framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 \"Capelli Ritti\" (which playfully translates to \"Hair Standing on End\" or \"Spiky Hair\") is a brilliantly dark, wild, and thrillingly complex rosso frizzante engineered to flip standard sparkling red tropes on their head. Made entirely from old-vine Aglianico grown in mineral-dense, high-altitude volcanic and calcareous clay soils, the fruit undergoes a native yeast fermentation with two weeks of continuous skin maceration. The base wine is aged in concrete vats to maintain its precise, mineral-driven tension before being bottled with a touch of unfermented sweet must to trigger a natural, ancestral-method secondary fermentation in the bottle. Bottled completely unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfur, this highly scannable 2021 vintage pours a deep, opaque purple-ruby with a lively, frothy mousse; it masterfully channels the serious, savory, and structured bone-dry character of mountain Aglianico with a refreshing, high-vibe carbonation that demands a light chill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Giardino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47519168626837,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/CantinaGiardinoCapelliRitti2021.jpg?v=1783030551","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/cantina-giardino-capelli-ritti-2021-750ml-sparkling-wine-bottle-13-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
