Drink because…
WOW! Talk about drinkability!
This wine is just like breakfast juice, it's that damn gluggable. Watch out, dangerously easy drinking and it`s a 1L...
Slightly aromatic and with a hint of honey on the finish. Apple, clementines and citrus vibes.
Grapes
Mostly Nascetta and bit of Moscato

Viticulture
Fausto and Cinzia Cellario, are the third generation of winemakers in the village of Carrù, on the western outskirts of the Langhe hills. We believe in working only with local, indigenous Piedmontese grape varieties and we fiercely defend the local winemaking traditions both in the vineyards and in the cellar. We farm 13 hectars of vineyards (and some hazelnut trees) in three different sites covering the southern Langhe. The Dogliani plot is probably the family’s most prestigious land and we like to consider ourselves as “Dolcetto Specialits”. Their farming is organic and they just use the indigenous yeasts in all the fermentations. Sulphur is absent or added only in small quantities during the pressing or bottling (just when necessary). The wines are not fined. They are aged in big oak barrels, cement tanks or raw amphora. The main varieties they farm are: Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Favorita, Nascetta, Grignolino.
Winemaking
Orange wine vinified with a week of maceration on the skins, spontaneous fermentation occurs, and it is not clarified. After racking, it is aged in amphora for 6-8 months and cement in our underground cellar until bottling.
The maceration gives it a long, slightly tannic finish. It retains a natural opalescence.
No filtering or fining.
The Cellario family takes joy in their native surroundings of the hills around Carrù in Piemonte, and make an effort to channel the environment around them through in their wines. With a history in the region that spans generations, they ultimately they feel that the wines reflect themselves as well. They work only with native grapes for this reason, farm organically and are hands off in the cellar. No new is wood allowed, and only minimal sulfur added at bottling. The elevation is high here, and the soil is predominately marl, combined with some tuff. Marl, the typical clay-based Piemonte soil type, adds acid to resulting wines, and the tuff, which is of volcanic origin, adds a smokey quality. While the Cellario’s vineyard holdings include esteemed Piemonte sites, they choose to adopt a philosophy they describe as “wine of the people”.
