{"product_id":"vigna-vecchia-umbria-igt-collecapretta","title":"Vigna Vecchia Umbria IGT 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eVigna Vecchia — \"old vineyard\" — is the Mattioli family's direct-press white from their oldest Trebbiano Spoletino vines, trellised as in the traditional Umbrian peasant manner. Where Terra dei Preti takes Trebbiano Spoletino through the long ribollito maceration, Vigna Vecchia is a different interpretation: the grapes are pressed directly without skin contact, then fermented spontaneously in open-top vats and aged in cement, stainless steel or fibre glass before bottling. It is a wine of absolute purity and mineral restraint in its youth, evolving slowly to reveal remarkable depth. \"In its youth it is slow and neutral,\" as one importer describes it, \"and over time it refines, acquiring mineral notes of great purity and a visceral connection with the territory.\" The palate is acidic and saline, the antithesis of an overtly fruity style, a wine that demands patience but rewards it handsomely. Ideal with truffle preparations, scorzone summer truffles in particular, alongside umami-rich dishes, aged cheeses and as a serious table white. Good alone with real attention given to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eGrape variety: Trebbiano Spoletino (100%), old trellised vines, Terzo la Pieve, Spoleto, Umbria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eVinification: Direct press; spontaneous fermentation in open-top vats; no temperature control; no added sulphites; no filtration; no fining; bottled at waning moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eAging: In glass-lined cement, stainless steel or fibre glass on fine lees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eOrganoleptic description: Pale-to-deep golden (age-dependent); mineral, saline, acidic core; with age acquires stone fruit, dried herbs, chalk mineral depth; long and precise palate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"western\"\u003eFood pairing: Truffle preparations, summer truffles, umami-rich dishes, aged cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Grape Escape","offers":[{"title":"75 cl \/ 2017","offer_id":52886413082951,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"75 cl \/ 2020","offer_id":53714436915527,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"75 cl \/ 2022","offer_id":53714436948295,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"75 cl \/ 2024","offer_id":53714436981063,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4327\/8663\/files\/grapeescape-vigna-vecchia-collecapretta-umbria.webp?v=1772200075","url":"https:\/\/grape-escape.ch\/products\/vigna-vecchia-umbria-igt-collecapretta","provider":"The Grape Escape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
