WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Oche is produced using 100% Verdicchio grapes from Fattoria San Lorenzo. The estate employs certified organic and biodynamic farming methods, with vines planted on clay and limestone soils. Harvested in 2021 under favorable conditions, the grapes were fermented using native yeasts. The wine then undergoes an extended aging period of 12 months on its lees in concrete tanks. Natalino Crognaletti follows a low-intervention approach, resulting in an unfiltered wine that aims to express the purity of the grape and its origin.
