Tutti Frutti Ananas 3 Bottiglie

Producer: Tutti Frutti Ananas

Wine Box of 3 bottles of natural wine

Drain Drain 2018, Grenache 90%, Syrah 10%

From a collaboration between Manuel Di Vecchi and Dominique Derain, from grapes harvested on Joachim Roque’s estate in a rather cool valley with rather poor clay soil, typical of the Côte Vermeille. No mechanization possible so grass control is done by grazing animals (ponies and sheep). Viti at 350 meters above sea level with a steep slope, northern exposure, mountainous environment although only 2 km from the Mediterranean Sea. To maintain freshness, the vinification is done in vats with a portion of whole bunches and a portion of destemmed grapes. A week of fermentation ending in concrete tanks then maturation for 7 months on the lees. Fresh, fruity and delicious wine. The nose is intense and complex, deep and sanguine, pink and violet, then notes of blood orange, blueberry and tomato leaf. Slightly spicy. Fresh, fruity and delicious mouthfeel, balanced with a soft and slightly tannic sip.

Morango 2017, Mourvedre, Grenache Noir, Syrah

From grapes in equal parts with three different paths which are then combined in the assembly as soon as fermentation is completed. The Muorvèdre macerates on the skins for a month, the Grenache Noir is destemmed and macerated while the Syrah is directly pressed. The refinement takes place entirely in concrete. Heady hints of red fruit and dark petaled flowers. Undergrowth, Black Pepper, Cinnamon. Fresh yet round sip. Soft on the palate, elegant, with just a hint of tannin and a persistent finish

Medlar 2017, Vermentino, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris

Vermentino – a third of the grapes – rests on the skins for 3 weeks while Grenache Blanc and Gris are pressed directly without maceration. Vinification and aging in cement. Notes of white flowers and fresh fruit, slightly peppery and with a light earthy note. Fresh sip, with very light oxidative hints and great minerality to balance it

Banyuls Sur Mer, Languedoc Roussillon

Tutti Frutti Ananas was born from a project that came to life in Banyuls-sur-Mer from the union of 3 visionary and reckless characters such as Manuel Di Vecchi (Vinyer de la Ruca), Josè Carvalho (La Cave des Nomades) and Joachim Roche (Domaine Carterole ).

Three creative winemakers who produce an average of 10/15 hl per hectare from their own vineyards and who were brought together by a stroke of luck, Joachim in fact inherited a vineyard in the bed of a dry river in Collioure which produces 35 hl per hectare, he follows the Tutti Frutti Pineapple vineyards. Manuel Di Vecchio makes the wine and Zé (aka Josè Tafé), a multifaceted Portuguese musician, takes care of the commercial side.

True Vins de Soif mostly without sulfur or with 15 mg at bottling if necessary for drinking. Everything is listed on the label.
