Costadila Moz 750ml

Two week maceration and fermentation in stainless steel. Aged in large oak barrels. Refermented in bottle with must from the same vintage. The wine is never disgorged.

Everything at Costadilà is farmed organically. As far as the wines, they are fermented with native yeasts until completely dry, then bottled with must made from passito grapes they dry themselves for secondary fermentation. No sulfur is used at any point in the vinification. Each bottling is named in accordance to the site's elevation (330=330m, etc...)

Costadilà started as a labor of love. The goal was and is to valorize and rejuvenate Tarzo's rich agricultural traditions by reintroducing farming to the region. The scope goes well beyond wine, with a strong emphasis on polyculture: a farm where vines, fruits, vegetables, cereals and livestock coexist on the same plots of land. Completing the cycle, the produce grown from Costadilà land is then used and sold in local businesses. By creating this "model farm" for the region, Ernesto and his partners hoped to show a successful example to other farmers trapped in a monoculture economy.
