Bananae Manciaciumi

The Manciaciumi project's 'Bananae' is an oxidative style wine with an intense and original character, the result of long ageing in drained demijohns. This system of ageing in fact exposes the wine to quite a lot of contact with oxygen, accelerating the evolutionary processes and thus contributing to the development of the classic oxidative scents. Since 'Bananae' has deliberately undergone a significant oxidation process, it will also be more stable over time, a factor that is at the basis of this wine's exceptional longevity.

Manciaciumi 'Bananae' is made exclusively from red grapes cultivated according to organic farming principles, excluding the use of pesticides and using only low doses of copper and sulphur in defence against pathogens. The vines also benefit from the high altitude, which is around 900 metres above sea level, and the volcanic nature of the soil. Harvesting is carried out strictly by hand while in the cellar, rosé vinification is carried out through spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, entrusted exclusively to the intervention of indigenous yeasts. The wine, with the addition of 3% red wine, then ages in drained demijohns for 16 long months, during which it develops its aromas and distinctive taste.

Manciaciumi's 'Bananae' has a pinkish colour tending towards ruby red with amber highlights. Intense ethereal and oxidative sensations emerge on the nose, surrounded by smoky tones and hints of dried fruit, citrus peel, spices and dried flowers, all supported by a fine iodine mineral vein. Rich, deep and complex on the palate, characterised by light tannin and a vibrant freshness that lends a decisive and cutting character to the progression.
