At the winery, the grapes macerate with the stems and after the stomping, the musts ferment one after the other. They are added subsequently, extending the wine's fermentation as a whole. Native yeasts are used in the fermentation. The malolactic fermentation is spontaneous, with native bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBefore it is bottled, is left to stand for 7 months in stainless steel deposits. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFining or Filtering: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunfiltered and unfined\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSulfur: \u003c\/b\u003eno added sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes from the Importer: \u003c\/b\u003eThe name Partida Creus is a reference to the crosses used for separating holdings back in the day. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerona are an Italian couple from Piedmont. Both of them architects who initially moved to Barcelona for that reason. Around the year 2000, they moved out to the country in search of a “slower” lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey settled in the Massís de Bonastre (Baix Penedés) characterized by its clay and limestone soils. There they started farming all kinds of local foodstuffs but had trouble finding wines made in the same style so they started making their own, recovering old vines of local grape varietals. In most cases, these vineyards were close to abandoned. Whenever they find a new vineyard, they’ll go to the nearby town, find out who the owner is and approach them to buy or at least farm the vineyard, organically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople think they’re crazy for doing this as they are very old, low yielding vineyards and in most cases, obsolete grape varietals. Some have been disqualified from D.O. for lack of color, as was the case with Sumoll, others were never even accepted. Now they’re known as the crazy Italians making incredible natural wines with the grapes that all of the locals had written off in exchange for the more “international” varietals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sylvester Rovine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118692974779,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/shot_20251101163240.jpg?v=1762051248","url":"https:\/\/www.buvonswine.com\/products\/partida-creus-vn","provider":"Buvons Wine LB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
