The use of the amphora in the winemaking<\/strong> has been rediscovered in the last 30 years and it symbolizes the archetype of the thousand-year-old tradition of production of wine. The ovoid shape not only facilitates the creation of a convective motion \u2013 which helps the must to move naturally, keeping the fine lees in suspension \u2013 but also favors the condensation of fermentation gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocciopesto was used by the ancient Romans as a waterproofing plaster for cisterns, tubs, thermal pools and masonry works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an inert material, which does not release odors or aromas, but thanks to its porosity, it guarantees perfect micro-oxygenation to obtain a wine that evolves into authentic flavours, respecting the organoleptic nature of the grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walls of the cocciopesto amphora are quite thick, therefore they ensure a constant internal temperature in a natural way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistent with the philosophy linked to sustainability, since 2021 we have been vinifying\u00a0E\u00faxenos<\/a>\u00a0this way to obtain a dry Malvasia delle Lipari, pure and lightly macerated on its skins, which expresses sensations of candied and toasted fruit within the typical minerality that distinguishes our wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make E\u00faxenos yours, we link you to the\u00a0wineshop<\/a>\u00a0on our website. You will not regret it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":9920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[224],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9929"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9934,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9929\/revisions\/9934"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenutadicastellaro.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
