Croci Bianco Frizzante Lubigo is a natural wine made from grapes farmed sustainably in Emilia-Romagna and vinified according to the ancestral method (refermented in the bottle). This is a super classic natural wine by one of the most esteemed natural wine producers from Emilia-Romagna.
This wine is both funky and incredibly refreshing. There’s a grippy minerality, and it reminded me of a farmhouse ale or Saison. Youthful with notes of just-bitten apple, meyer lemon, stewed pineapples, and salty cheeses. Picture yourself lazing down a cross-town river in a boat with fresh cut fruits, pecorino, and tarte tatin laid out around you.
Croci’s ‘Lubigo’ (translation = landslide) is 100% Ortugo from a steep, southeast-facing vineyard referred to as a ”beach” due to the aforementioned sandy soils full of fossils. The grapes see 1-2 weeks of skin-contact, and the wine is bottled unfiltered with a small addition of sulfur in the springtime before the wine starts to ferment again, generally around Easter and always during a waning moon. Refermentation takes another 8-10 months, at which point the wine is fully dry and a little sparkling—less than your average Pet-Nat.
