With Podere Pradarolo, it’s all extreme. Extremely long macerations for all the whites and Rose’s. Ex Alba sees 45 days on its Trebbiano skins then heads to the barrels. This is less than a fourth the time Vej sees on skins by the way.
I prefer Ex Alba. It’s less hops and more florals. Spiced citrus bitter peppery apple cider vinegar tea. — 4 years ago

This raw, natural beauty arrives on a wave of velvety bubbles with funky stone fruit and flint on the nose. Delicate notes of wildflower honey and lemon give way to a hint of tannin, and then a long, herbal finish. Absolute stunner. — 6 years ago
