| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | Orange Wine. "natural Wine". Trebbiano Spoletino. "Giampiero acquired a parcel of 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi several years back. Arising from a cooler microclimate than the âArboreusâ above, âLapideusâ spent a lengthy 35 days on it skins after pressing, followed by 210 additional days on the gross leesâ"a similar vinification to âArboreus,â yet one that yielded entirely different results. Though no less deeply amber in its appearance, âLapideusâ has a leaner, racier carriage than the broad-shouldered âArboreus,â with more filigree, a less overwhelmingly intense nose of apricots, cloves, and candied ginger. If âArboreusâ is a sea to swim in, âLapideusâ is a rocket to ride, emphasizing drive and lift over layered density. It is still a wine of impressive power, especially given its modest 11-12% alcohol, but the fruit is more direct, pure, and foregrounded." - Rosenthal Wine Merchant |
