Description

Il Censo IGT Terre Siciliane Rosso 'Njuro' 2019Produced exclusively from the Perricone grape, also known in local dialect as njuro cane (the black dog); vineyards are farmed organically and grapes are harvested manually, with harvest usually taking place in October; fermentation occurs over two to three weeks with indigenous yeasts and minimal or no use of sulfur and without temperature control; the wine is neither fined nor filtered before bottling. This is a gutsy but elegant wine, not ferocious

offering kaleidoscopic complexity and leading with notes of fresh almonds and marzipan

Despite all of this intensity

It spends 18 months in large oak casks of Slavonian origin

foudres and terracotta amphorae

Rothko-like in its single-minded yet comfortingly enveloping character

the Boca is 75% Nebbiolo

35 hectares of Chardonnay spread among four parcels in Arbois: Curoulet

showing just how distinct Calce is from its neighbor Languedoc-Roussillon

Curated by Neal each month

it offers palate-staining minerality

given a 48-hour pre-fermentation maceration

this is both more blatant in its minerality and more multilayered
