Additional Info:
Petracavallo Vino Bianco comes from historic vineyards in Mottola, on limestone and clay soils of Puglia’s Terra delle Gravine. The wine is made naturally: grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a short maceration followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. It’s aged on lees in stainless steel for about six months, bottled without filtration and with very low added sulfur, producing a fresh, dynamic wine that expresses Mediterranean scrub, herbal brightness and mineral tension.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
