Cantina Indigeno Folk Bianco 2018

Folk Bianco is a 100% Trebbiano from Cantina Indigeno, sourced from old vines in the Teramo hills of Abruzzo, central Italy. The grapes are hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards near Montorio al Vomano, where calcareous clay and stony limestone soils sit roughly 8 kilometers from the Adriatic coast.

Fermentation is spontaneous, with no temperature control, using only indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes approximately 8 days of skin contact in open vats before racking and pressing, then ages on its lees in fiberglass containers. No sulfites are added at any stage; the wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

The result is a light-bodied, dry white with a slightly hazy appearance, carrying the yeasty, textural character typical of Cantina Indigeno's skin-contact style. Expect bright acidity, stone fruit, citrus, and a cider-like funkiness that sets it apart from conventional Trebbiano. Serve well-chilled.
