Lammidia Horus Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Horus is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a single hectare of clay and limestone soils in the province of Pescara, Abruzzo, with vines averaging 25 years of age. The vineyard sits at roughly 700 meters above sea level within the Gran Sasso National Park, where significant diurnal temperature swings preserve bright acidity even in warm vintages.

Grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and left on the skins overnight before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The wine ages in stainless steel with no fining, no filtration, and zero added sulfites at any stage. Sediment in bottle is expected and is a sign of the hands-off approach.

The result is a low-alcohol white at 10.5% ABV with an herbal, tropical-fruited character and vibrant acidity. The overnight maceration gives just enough texture to separate it from a conventional Sauvignon Blanc without pushing it into full skin-contact territory.

Lammidia's motto is "uva e basta" (grapes and that's it), and Horus delivers exactly that: a direct, unmanipulated expression of the grape and the land at altitude in central Abruzzo.
