Sete ‘Tropicale’ Bianco 2022
Location: Italy, Lazio
Winemaker: Emiliano Giorgi & Arcangelo Galuppi
Grapes: 90% Ottonese, 5% Trebbiano, 5% Moscato
Winemaking: After being crushed and de-stemmed, the grapes macerate on the skins for about 18 hours and then are pressed with a hydraulic press. Aged in fiberglass for seven months.
From the Producers: SETE means THIRST, the natural need to drink, but also a visceral need for change in our lives that has led us to start a project for the recovery of old vineyards to enhance the characteristics of our territory. SETE also is Vins de Soif: thirst-quenching wines, fresh, light, which can be provide joy at any time. These are the wines of Sete.
We have been giving a second life to vineyards since 2013 and we cultivate grapes in harmony with Nature – narrating through our wine all the changes of the territory where we were born, in which we grew up, came back to and where we’ve decided to stay.
Priverno is located in the province of Latina, 100 km south of Rome. Halfway between the capital and Naples, right off the Lepini Mountains, between the Pontine countryside and Ciociaria, just a few kilometers from the Circeo National Park. Between the mountains and the sea, sheltered by the Mount Semprevisa, the ancient vines grow on a mixed soil compose of clay and slit, with a slight presence of sand and limestone.
The past generations of our grandparents and great-grandparents weren’t aware of the concept of biodiversity. However, they were able to enhance it with subsistence agriculture based on polyculture and full respect of nature. The primary goal of Sete is to recover and enhance this precious heredity by growing grapes according to natural agriculture and making wine with the minimum possible intervention.
We cultivate about 3 hectares of vineyards divided into 11 parcels, mostly of native vines of our territory: Ottonese, Moscato and Malvasia Puntinata. We tend to separately vinify the grapes of each vineyard parcel, grown without the use of systemic plant protectors. The entire cycle of work in the vineyard is manual.
Since 2013 we have been working together in the field and constantly interacting with various local farmers, from whom we purchase part of the vinified grapes. The vines that we now cultivate were once the focus point of subsistence farming around the 60’s. As part of the local peasant culture, the vineyard was a place of work and daily life where food was grown to satisfy one’s needs and those of one’s family. With our Vegetable Garden in the Vineyard we wish to replicate that model of production contextualizing it in our contemporary reality. Not only, by doing so we facilitate biodiversity and increase the health of the soil and of the vineyard.
In the cellar the musts decant naturally and ferment on indigenous yeasts, they are decanted a couple of times during the waning moon and do not, at any stage, receive any addition of sulfur dioxide. All wines are neither clarified nor filtered and are made exclusively with grapes grown without the use of any systemic product and without the addition of additives or enological adjuvants.
