ABOUT THIS WINE
Rundinera Marsanne Bianco 2019 by Società Agricola Fondo San Giuseppe is a single-varietal Marsanne from the Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

The producer, Fondo San Giuseppe, emphasizes environmentally respectful, handcrafted winemaking and holds organic certification. The vineyard, planted in 1988, is situated near a cliff where swallows nest, inspiring the wine's name 'Rundinera,' which translates to 'swallow' in the local dialect. This unique location and the north-facing aspect of the vineyard contribute to significant temperature variations, fostering the development of distinct fruity and floral characteristics.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rundinera Marsanne Bianco is produced using 100% Marsanne grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested in early September and brought to the winery without the addition of sulfites. Fermentation is spontaneous, occurring in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine ages for six months in small stainless steel tanks before bottling. The producer, Società Agricola Fondo San Giuseppe, adheres to a philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming to allow the natural characteristics of the grape and terroir to shine through.
