L’ANFORA (Amphora)
The wine in “Anfora” means, back to the origins. L’Anfora made of terracotta was the first container used to keep the wine. Today, the evolution of the materials has meant that, “Anfora” has a function of aging, then the relative maturation of wine up to getting a finished product.
Our “Anfore” are made of a mix of ceramic matrix materials. Not simple terracotta (earthenware), but clay enriched with other materials. The result is a higher quality material, both in terms of strength to the crash both in terms of waterproofing. Unlike terracotta containers which have problems of absorption, the micro-porous structure of “Anfora” allows gas exchange with the exterior, but only in limited quantity and the wine evolves slowly and aging over long time to completed and be pleasant to taste.
Besides, the rectified glass lid is UV- treated to guaranty the maximum light protection. We wanted to rediscover the genuine taste of our wines, “Anfora” allows us enhance the varietal characteristic of our vineyards. The result is a fresh, fruity and balanced wine.
