Natalin
Named after Fabrizio Iuli`s grandfather, whose name was Gioacchino Natale, but whom everyone called Natalin. This variety was his favorite wine, and has always been grown in the Monferrato hills. Fabrizio pulled it up in 1999 because the vineyard was too difficult to reach with the tractor to treat. In 2016 he replanted it on the same hillside where 'Natalin' planted his first vineyard, as well as rented an old vine organic vineyard in 2017. Worked in the old fashioned and traditional way, fermented and raised in 100% cement, and bottled in late spring under the 'buona' moon as Fabrizio`s grandfather did. A fresh and bright expression with delicate tannin.
