Vintage: 2019
Grape Varietal: Trebbiano Spoletino
Farming: Organic, Biodynamic, Unfined/Unfiltered, No added SO2
“Lapideus” has a leaner, racier carriage than the broad-shouldered “Arboreus,” with a more precise sense of acidity; it emphasizes drive over density, with an underlying salinity. Subtle notes of honeyed sweetness at the wine’s core speaks of its warm-climate origins, and Bea’s propensity for wildness reveals itself in a fascinating cheese-rind whisper in its aromatics. From 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi . Lapideus spends a lengthy 35 days on it skins after pressing, followed by 210 additional days on the gross lees. Unfined/unfiltered. No added SO2.
