Fricandó 2022 is a 100% Albana grown on biodynamic vineyards within the hills of Emilia-Romagna. This native variety, known for its thick skins and natural tannins, is particularly suited to skin-contact winemaking, resulting in wines of depth and structure.
The wine undergoes an extended maceration on the skins, ranging from several weeks to months, followed by spontaneous fermentation in terracotta amphorae. This traditional approach enhances both aromatic complexity and texture, producing a wine rooted in historical methods.

Fricandó stands as the most structured and contemplative wine of the estate, an intense and characterful expression of Albana that bridges tradition and natural winemaking.
