THE WINE

Deep honey color with slight pink streaks. Unfiltered! Strawberry jam jumps out, chocolate-covered cherries, kombucha, blood orange, candied honeydew yellow peaches in lemon juice. Aromas of a bag of sour gummy worms and regular gummy worms, white flowers. Acidity + tannin are a power couple in this wine asserting themselves immediately on the palate, leaving room for fruit after a swallow and salivation. The finish is strawberry lemonade fresh and sour candy powder.

This beautiful golden orange color perfectly expresses Eraldo's "rock-n-roll" style wines!

Organic.

THE WINERY

About the Winemaker

This wine is produced by a family that practices only natural farming and winemaking. Dentici lets nature lead the way as he creates the features and flavors of his next vintages. Allowing nature to control the process means that these natural wines may feature the same grape, but they will never taste the same year after year. For me, one of the things I look for when choosing wines for the Vegan Wines portfolio is not only vegan winemaking but how the people behind the winemaking lead their lives.

Dentici and his wife share a deep respect for animals and the environment. This family is filled with animal lovers, and animals are even a part of their family, like the horse on the bottle’s label. During our visit, they made us one of the best vegan dinners we’ve ever had, paired perfectly with their Grechetto.
