Ferracane Chameleon 2020
14,90 €
Chameleon 2020 is a rosé wine that Fabio Ferracane produces in Marsala, Sicily, from a blend of all his estate grapes, Merlot, Nero d'Avola, Grillo and Catarratto. These are vinified separately by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration for a few hours. They are then gently crushed and reassembled in steel where they rest together for about 6 months. The nose is dominated by hints of cherry and wild blackberry, almonds and wild herbs, in the mouth it is fresh and savoury, soft and fat. We like it because it is never the same, it changes every year. Recommended pairing... aperitif!!! Total sulphur 17 mg/l

Marsala, Sicily
Fabio Ferracante is a child of art, his father was already bringing grapes to the Marsala cellars in the 1990s from the family's 3 hectares. At the age of 15, Fabio helped his father in the cellar and soon afterwards began studying oenology and travelling the world in search of work experience. It was precisely this background that led him to develop the idea that wine is not chemistry, but rather territory. In his vision, the oenologist is the guardian of the wine and not merely the one who adjusts it to make it drinkable. Fabio's wine is authentic.<br>There are now 5 hectares under vine, plus 2 more on the way, all free of systemic chemistry, where the area's typical grapes are grown: Catarratto, Grillo and Nero d'Avola plus Merlot. Sulphur and copper treatments are also limited and closely related to the rainfall, and therefore humidity, of the year. The grapes are meticulously selected, and once they arrive in the cellar, the grapes ferment spontaneously by means of indigenous yeasts, and a homeopathic dose of pre-bottling sulphur dioxide is added. The rule is that the vinification process takes place without the addition of sulphites or temperature control, but sometimes, considering the Sicilian heat, these are indispensable. Fabio claims that his wines narrate the slow cultivation, uniqueness and beauty of his land.
