The furious bee

Ape Furibonda is our red wine. The name reflects the restless personality of both the grape from which it is made and our urban cellar. This wine comes from the pure vinification of a historic grape variety of Piedmont, which in the face of a noble and prestigious origin has undergone a progressive devaluation over the years (also attributable to the rebellious and difficult to tame nature of this grape) thus being relegated among the minor varieties. It is perhaps the most eclectic of the Piedmontese vines: until recently the best known version was the lively one which, in our opinion, does not fully do justice to a grape with great aging potential. Our idea is that of a wine to be taken seriously, which knows how to combine pulp and tannin, structure and drinkability. The maceration lasts as long as needed, usually about two weeks. The wine then ages for a long time in wood in order to shape its varietal exuberance and refine its tannins.
