DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
50% Barbera/50% Bonarda (aka Croatina). Named for an old farmhouse in the midst of the vineyard, La Macchiona is La Stoppa's flagship red. It is made with the estate's oldest vines (up to 45 years old), grown on heavy, silty clay-limestone soils and farmed organically.
The fruit is harvested by hand, then destemmed and crushed. The juice is fermented with native yeasts and without sulfur in tank. Maceration lasts around 40 days. Its color alone, a deep ruby with only mild bricking around the rim. This mixes dusty rose with dried strawberries and the slightest hint of animal musk.
