Vanempo's "SKIM" is a field blend of 40% Canaiolo, 40% Ciliegiolo, and 20% Sangiovese. The wine is both organic and biodynamic certified.
The nose recalls the scent of cherries and forest wild berries In the palate the wine is fresh with lush fruity notes offering an awesome drinkability and good supporting acidity. Complex and evolving in the glass, with the right time and patience the minerality comes out in the glass.
All of the estate's vineyards are managed according to environmentally friendly agriculture practices, skipping any use of pesticides and herbicides. In the cellar, the approach is hands off, avoiding technical manipulation and additives. Indigenous yeast only. Vinification occurrs in open-top, concrete vats with frequent punch downs for 20 days. Part of the grapes are whole cluster fermented. After the racking, the wine ages for 3 months in used tonneaux (500 liters) and 3 more months in concrete vats. Unfined and unfiltered. This is an artisanal wine and can throw some sediments.
