Chakra Essenza is the fruit of a centuries-old vineyard lovingly cultivated in the heart of Puglia, between the Canale di Pirro and the Valle d'Itria, by Tonetta and Toniuccio, a married couple in their nineties. Essenza is a tribute to the unconditional love between a man and his vines. Chakra is a fusion of the energies of earth, air and man. The labels, entirely hand-painted, enclose a prestigious artisan production, faithful to a magnificent terroir that has always been a source of inspiration for the wine.
Variety
100% Verdeca
Vinification
A part of the grapes is harvested a few days in advance in order to obtain the "pied de couve", so as to guarantee the rest of the mass a fermentation with autochthonous yeasts. The remaining part of the grapes is crushed and destemmed, then softly pressed, whereas the must is fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperature. One third of the mass is vinified with maceration of skins.
Maturation
At the end of fermentation, after the first racking, the wine remains on its fine lees for one year. Continuous batonnage increases the volume and harmonizes the taste.
Aging
In bottles, for 6 months.
