The Fern - Vermentino Monte dei Frati 2022

A white wine made from 100% Vermentino grown in Liguria on sedimentary soil.

The vineyard has an average age of 40 years and extends over 2.5 hectares.

In the cellar: crushing and destemming and maceration for 48 hours on the skins. Spontaneous fermentation in 25 hectolitre stainless steel and refinement in the same containers for 3 months.

Renato Marcesini founded La Felce in Ortonovo (La Spezia) in the immediate post-war period.
A farm that immediately dedicated itself not only to viticulture but also to other agricultural practices, such as saffron production, horticulture and olive growing.
The vineyard area extends over 6 hectares of mostly sandy soil, where plants take root, most of which are over 50 years old.

In the vineyard and in the cellar, the use of chemicals and technology is limited to the minimum. The basic idea is not to distort the wine and let it express itself in all its natural spontaneity.

Vermentino, Trebbiano, Malvasia, Massaretta, Canaiolo, Merlot, Barbera, Alicante are grown.
