Comment on Venetian Origins of Mardi Gras by Simona

Nice post, Jeremy.
P.S. A little note from someone who used to live in Milan: there, Carnival ends on Saturday and Lent stars on Sunday. This has to do with the calendario ambrosiano.

Hi Jeremy. Thanks for tasting. Of course nobody can define “natural” with precision, and that does not bother me. But we do aim to avoid manipulation in the winery to the utmost. For us that meant a little SO2 at bottling (very light), and inoculation for malo for fear of fermentation in the bottle, as you noted. Nothing else added. Period. Also, no temp control, except shade. No wood. No racking, except to blend once. No filtering or fining. Etc. -michael, Los Pilares
