Cirelli Orange 23

100% Macerated Trebbiano. Grapes are destemmed before one month maceration on the skins in steel before being softly pressed. After racking, stays on its fine lees in steel for 4 months. Wine is not filtered. Ive been fortunate enough to grow up in a well-off family, which allowed me to spend a fantastic and dispassionate childhood and to study in the most prestigious schools in EU. My grandparents and my parents spent all their entire life on bettering the social, cultural, and economical status of the family, cutting all the links with their origin: the soil. Once I got the graduation in BA I decided to invest my little money on a farm in Abruzzo, the so-called green region of Europe. Since 2003, I am therefore trying to reestablish a link between myself and the origin of my family because I am more then convinced of the goodness of the values within the farming. In fact, there is a phrase that I love (but I dont remember the author): the farmer is the closest man to God. This is not to say that I feel close to God, but I would like my children to grow up with a better understanding of the moral values of the soil. Thats all. Francesco Cirelli
