The grapes are hand harvested and brought back to the cellar for spontaneous fermentation in open-top stainless steel vats. The grapes are loaded into the vats as whole clusters and undergo partial carbonic maceration for about 10 days before the juice is pressed off the skins. The wine then ages for six months in clay amphorae before bottling with just a very small dosage of sulfur. No fining or filtration.
The Juice Asylum is a project started in 2016 by Alessio Guidi at Avignonesi Winery. Being a fanatic of all things quirky, interesting and above all terroir driven, he embraces the idea of allowing wine to have an experimental playground where the natural element is encouraged rather than denied and put into a 'facility' (an Asylum if you will) for correction. Since so much time is spent on the selection of the grapes (sourced from biodynamic or organic vineyards at Avignonesi Winery) the idea is to use minimal intervention, co-fermentation and different styles of aging to allow the wine to speak of where it is from rather than how it is made.
