In April 2022, a few of our team went to the Basque Country on a culinary trip. At a lunch at the Asador Extebarri, we met up with Marco Tinessa, winemaker-owner of the magnificent Ognostro winery, Campania, Italy. After a few tasty bottles of wine and geuze, we decided to work together.
For this small batch Druif, we macerated Aglianico pomace for over four months. We used three-year old lambikken only, rendering the weighted average age of the blend to over 38 months upon bottling. The final fruit proportion is 384 grams of Aglianico per litre of Druif.
