WINE DESCRIPTION
Denavolo Rivergaro Catavela Bianco, crafted by Giulio Armani, stands as an epitome of artisanal winemaking in Italy. This entry-level offering embodies spontaneity and drinkability, reflecting Armani's steadfast commitment to terroir-driven expressions. Catavela is a charismatic orange wine with a vibrant personality. Armani adheres to rigorous principles in the vineyard and cellar, allowing only minimal use of copper and sulfur and conducting spontaneous fermentations with varying degrees of skin maceration. Catavela, with its more carefree and approachable character, undergoes a brief seven-day skin maceration in stainless steel containers. Its luminous amber hue invites exploration, revealing a captivating bouquet of orange zest, apricot, and aromatic herbs. Incisive yet refreshing, Catavela delivers a succulent and lively palate, making it a standout choice even on scorching summer days.
