The 2024 vintage was marked by a particularly warm and sunny season, offering us an abundance of exceptional red grapes. This red year, as we like to call it, allowed us to unleash our creativity in developing new products we’ve long dreamed of.
It’s a year that was, above all, filled with a lot of love. Love that we want more than ever to share with you, one bottle (or can) at a time:
Hand-harvested 72 tons of grapes • 108 hours of juice extraction • 40 days protecting the grapes from their natural predators • 8 days spreading and smelling the manure • 85 tank transfers • 600 hours of manual weeding with a pickaxe • 10 exceptional humans pampering the vines 7 days a week from April to November!

Grapes are pressed directly as soon as they are picked, and then go through a low temperautre fermentation to preserve a maximum of fruit and crispness.
Following a short maceration and a first alcoholic fermentation, the base wine is mixed with a starter made of base wine and organic beet sugar, and canned on the same day. The bubbles are formed during the second fermentation in the can. More fizzy than sparkling, it contains twice as less pressure than our traditional methods. We do not disgorge the Amourette, as it would be impossible to open the can to extract the lees and then close it again, as we do for sparkling wine in bottles. Indeed, the Col Fondo method, which means “with the bottom” in italian, is a reference to the lees that deposit on the bottom of the bottle (or can, in our specific case) at the end of the second fermentation. The wine is neither fined nor filtered.
