A professional sommelier by trade, Luca stepped behind the vines in 2006 to rescue and farm a couple of hectares of ancient, 35-year-old family plots originally stewarded by his father. Operating a true micro-domain that yields fewer than 10,000 bottles a year, Luca works the land with a meticulous, holistic approach—completely banning synthetic pesticides and managing native cover crops beneath traditional pergola training systems to protect the soil from erosion. In his cellar, the winemaking process follows a strict, zero-compromise \"zero-zero\" framework: relying purely on spontaneous native yeast fermentations and neutral vessels with absolutely nothing added or removed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 \"Lello\" is a highly texturized, hyper-energetic white wine that flips the typically dense, high-alcohol profile of Central Italian Pecorino on its head. Sourced from a single, organically farmed hectare of vines rooted in heavy clay and marly limestone soils, the fruit captures the cooling influence of the nearby Adriatic Sea. Rather than undergoing a fast, industrial direct-press, the hand-harvested grapes are destemmed and allowed to undergo an intentional 3-day maceration on their skins during a spontaneous native yeast fermentation. The juice is then tucked away to naturally settle and mature for 6 months on its fine lees in neutral fiberglass tanks. Bottled strictly zero-zero—completely unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites—this highly scannable 2024 vintage acts as a masterclass in tension; it beautifully pairs an explosive bouquet of tropical passion fruit and baked orchards with a distinct, laser-sharp salinity and a clean, lightly bitter finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luca Bevilacqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47519168692373,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/LucaBevilacquaLello2024.jpg?v=1783030598","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/luca-bevilacqua-lello-2024-750ml-orange-wine-bottle-12-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
