Cantina Giardino begun in 2003 in the Irpinia area of Campania. Today it has grown to steward about 7 hectares of vineyards planted to Fiano, Greco, Aglianico and Coda di Volpe. All the vines (some that are up to 100 years old) are farmed adhering to organic viticulture practices. In the vineyards all the soils and are managed directly by Antonio di Gruttola and his wife Daniela. In the cellar all wines are spontaneously fermented with skin-macerations of varying length (from a few days, to a month or more) that differ based on the cuvée. The goal is to produce a line of wines made in the most natural way possible that is a pure expression of this territory.
The "Na" White wine is part of the NATURE line launched in 2019. It's made from three grapes: Falanghina, Coda di Volpe, Greco. All grown on clay-limestone soils. Each variety spent four days on skins and were fermented separately using only wild yeasts. After fermentation, they were blended and matured in old chestnut casks for 9 months. Bottled without fining, filtration or SO2 additions ("zero-zero" wine).
It's best to think about this energetic white as a wine that has the texture of an orange wine. It is a mouth-filling white wine that is gently aromatic, blossom/pollen hinted, garden fresh, herbal and spiced. The palate is stone-fruited with a lemon pithy, salty, slightly phenolic texture, and intense acidity. The wild/fresh aromas and flavors will immediately transport you into your own dreamy cottagecore fantasy. Alex Alan
