Dupla Natura 2022, Atlas Land
Region: Algarve
Producer: atlasland (Filippo Pozzi)
This is our field blend from centenary vines that we farm solely by hand.Mostly ungrafted plants scattered on a sandy parcel of few thousand square
meters, just three kilometers from the ocean. It’s a wine drawn more to the
land than the sea.
We usually don’t macerate white grapes. This year though, as the days
went by under a scorching sun and the skin of our back bronzed
underneath the summer skies, we really wished to extract the texture of sun
drenched fruit. We wanted this wine to feel like midday in August. A
moment of stillness, a peak of sensibility to the outer world.
Grapes were picked in the morning, soaked in an open top fermenter
together with stems and skins for three days. As fermentation started, we
pressed everything to barrel and let it sit for 15 months.
It’s a wine in constant evolution, layers of wild and fruit dance together
showing each a different side.
Serve just slightly chilled and give it some time to open up in the glass. I
like to decant it gently before drinking.
