SETE
Priverno
Lazio
Sete is an agricultural, social and cultural project of two young friends Arcangelo Galuppi and Emiliano Giorgi. Since the inception of the project in 2013, Arcangelo and Emiliano have recovered a number of old, abandoned vineyards in the Amaseno Valley of Southern Lazio. Thanks to years of neglect, the vineyards are brimming with biodiversity and they now have a mosaic of rare and indigenous varieties to the likes of Ottonese, Cesanese, and Malvasia Puntinata.
Arcangelo and Emiliano share just as purist a philosophy in the cellar also, using only indigenous yeasts to initiate fermentation and adding no sulphites at any stage. Fruit from each of their reclaimed parcels is vinified separately in order to highlight the distinctive micro-terroirs throughout their region.

Winemaking Wine made from 40 years old Moscato vines. The grapes are de-stemmed and undergo one week of skin contact. This is followed by pressing in a hydraulic press and fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is then aged for 11 months in chestnut barriques.
Tasting Note Moli is an imaginary plant featured in Homer's Odyssey, where it plays a fundamental role in
saving Ulysses thanks to the magical properties with which it is endowed. Some
writings associate the herb Moli with the Scilla Marina, represented on the label
as a tribute to the Circeo National Park, a wonderful territory located a few
kilometers from the Amaseno Valley, one of the historical landmark of Ulysses'
mythology. An aromatic, savoury and fleshy wine, with notes of bergamot, quince and jasmine with a savoury saline touch. The ageing in chestnut barrels gives the wine a certain softness without intrusive hints of wood.
