MUSCAT CANELLI 2016

The 2016 Muscat Canelli is our first skin fermented white wine. Skin contact fermentation in white wines is a rare technique where white grapes are fermented in contact with their grape skins and seeds. This technique has been used for thousands of years, with ancient roots in European regions like Georgia, Slovenia and Fruili, Italy. The finished wines develop complex textures, exotic and intense flavors.
