The Favorita is fermented "in orange" in a big amphora made of cocciopesto where it macerates for 200 days. After pressing the wine is transferred to large oak barrels (400 l) where it stays for 44 months. The Muscat is fermented "in white" and aged in old oak barrels. After blending the wine is bottled for the second fermentation. Stays on the less for 9 months. Disgorged in July, 2025.
About Quila
Information provided directly by the winery.
Information
Quila is a small experimental project based in Neive (Barbaresco region), with vineyards spread across the Langhe and Roero, certified organic since 2023. A small portion of the grapes is purchased from other local winegrowers. The winery is a member of FIVI. The Langhe vineyards are certified "Sorì Eroici" (Heroes of the Hills) with slopes ranging from 39% to 51%. The Roero vineyard has an official State classification as a "historic and heroic vineyard", with slopes ranging from 62% to 69% and is worked totally manually. Most of the wines are experimental: Orange, Pét-Nat, amphora, "wet" carbonic maceration, and others. The Barbaresco, Roero Bianco, and Roero Rosso are more classic.
