"Achille" is made by the great natural winery Case Collini of Piedmont, blending Barbera and Nebbiolo. "If we can bring healthy grapes into the cellar, then humans only need to do the bare minimum. In fact, it is much more difficult to bring healthy grapes into the cellar..." is the idea behind this, and the wine is made with the utmost care, using sustainable farming methods and not adding any fermentation ingredients, including SO2, in the cantina.
Barbera and Nebbiolo planted around 1950 in a vineyard at an altitude of 250 meters in Costigliole d'Asti. Some are grown in Alberello. After strict selection, the grapes are hand-picked and transported to the cantina, where they are destemmed. They are naturally fermented in large barrels using wild yeasts. Maceration takes place for about 6 to 9 weeks, and then the wine is aged in large barrels for 30 to 36 months.
Dr. Lorenzo Corino of Casecolini is opposed to modern large-scale agriculture, which involves massive energy consumption, and as a geology scholar he advocates the importance of "sustainable" agriculture. He uses his family business of grape growing and winemaking as a place to demonstrate his views.
"Achille" is made by Case Collini, a great natural winery in 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..." this is the idea behind the wine, which is grown using sustainable farming methods and is brewed with the utmost care, with no additives made to the brewing process, including SO2, in the cantina.
