Fattoria AL FIORE / Ciao!Ciao! 2023 (Red Sparkling) 750ml
Regular price ¥3,300/
Including tax
Piacere!, meaning "Nice to meet you," and Ciao!Ciao!, meaning "See you again," are like sibling wines born from the same tank. Fully packed with destemmed, fully ripe Steuben grapes in a large tank, the juice that naturally flows out by its own weight is used for Piacere!, while for Ciao!Ciao!, the remaining juice is macerated with skins and seeds at 200%, extracting a moderate amount of tannins. Ciao!Ciao! is racked and bottled immediately after fermentation ends, so the lees do not fully settle, resulting in a slightly cloudy wine. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the bottle, creating a dry, slightly tannic, and lightly sparkling profile—this is the image we aimed for. Because of the extended maceration period, if you patiently wait until next year, the flavor will deepen, the taste will mellow, and it will become even more enjoyable. The wine also lasts a long time after opening; even after a week when the bubbles have dissipated, it can be enjoyed chilled as a still wine. If you have the chance, comparing it with Piacere!, which comes from the same tank, is quite interesting, so please give it a try.
Ciao!Ciao! and Piacere! will be discontinued after this vintage. Our close cultivation partner, Mr. Yutaka Nakamura, known as Ben from Steuben, connected us with the Grape Production Cooperative in Inakadate Village, Aomori Prefecture, which led us to start production in 2017. Now that he has retired, we no longer have a reason to purchase Steuben grapes from Aomori without Ben. However, these two cuvées hold great significance for us. Starting in 2024, they will be reborn in a new form, and we look forward to delivering them to you. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the new Ciao!Ciao! and Piacere! as well.
