Notes:

L’Archetipo is a family wine cellar, located in Castellaneta (in Apulia region), in the northern part of Salento and very close (about 20 kilometers) to Matera. Since the 80’s Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto, farmer and agronomist, began the conversion of his land to organic farming, and in 2000 he moved his farm to biodynamic thanks to studies on
Rudolf Steiner’s cultural legacy.

After few years of biodynamic he studied Masanobu Fukuoka’s thought, and finally he implemented a sustainable agriculture, in which the synergies between all the ecosystem are linked: Synergistic Agriculture. This new adventure involved his wife Anna Maria and their four children: Carlo Nazareno, Domenico, Andrea e Maria Clelia. Thanks to their cooperation and constant care, they built the new wine cellar, made in tuffs (“tufo”), where the specific climatic conditions give them precious grapes and wine with no chemicals use.

Cherry-red color fine and quite persistent bubbles; intense fruity and floral nose. Soft, tasty and very persistent fresh taste. If you like Rose Champagne, you will love this.
