The Soul of Sangiovese.
Psyché from Macchion dei Lupi is an Italian gem is crafted from a unique blend of native grape varieties (with Sangiovese in the lead), showcasing the vibrant and expressive character of the Lazio region. With a focus on organic farming and minimal intervention, Psyché embodies the true essence of terroir.
What sets this wine apart is the winemaker's dedication to capturing the Sangiovese grape at its peak. He meticulously harvests grapes nine times during the season, ensuring that he captures each stage of ripeness (or, as the greek title “Psyche” sugests - the “soul” of Sangiovese). This careful approach allows him to create a complex and layered flavor profile, resulting in a wine that truly reflects the terroir.
The winemaking process is all about authenticity. Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, allowing the wine to develop its character without any additives. The result is a wine that bursts with juicy red fruits, hints of herbs, and a touch of earthiness that invites exploration.
On the palate, you’ll find a harmonious balance between ripe berries and herbs with refreshing acidity, complemented by soft tannins that create an inviting mouthfeel. This wine is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, casual gatherings, or simply enjoying a glass on its own as you unwind.
