"Achille" is a blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo, crafted by Case Collini, a leading natural winery in Piedmont. "If we can bring healthy grapes into the cellar, then the work that humans need to do afterwards is minimal. In fact, bringing 'healthy grapes' into the cellar is far more difficult..." This is the philosophy behind the winery's commitment to sustainable farming and the strictest vinification standards, including no SO2 additives.
Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes were planted around 1950 in a vineyard at an altitude of 250 meters in Costigliole d'Asti. Some are grown in Alberello style. After careful selection, the grapes are hand-picked and brought to the winery where they are destemmed. Fermented naturally in large barrels using wild yeasts, the wine is left to macerate for approximately 6-9 weeks before aging in large barrels for 30-36 months.
Dr. Lorenzo Corino of Casecolini is opposed to modern large-scale agriculture, which consumes large amounts of energy, and as a geologist he advocates the importance of ``sustainable'' agriculture.He uses his family's business of grape cultivation and winemaking as a place to prove his point.
"Achille" is made by Case Collini, a great naturalist from Piedmont, by blending Barbera and Nebbiolo. "If we can bring healthy grapes into the cellar, then humans only need to do the bare minimum afterwards. In fact, it is far more difficult to bring 'healthy grapes' into the cellar..." Based on this idea, the wine is grown using sustainable farming methods and is made with the utmost care, with no additives added to the brewing process, including SO2, in the cantina.
