{"product_id":"la-stoppa-ageno-2022","title":"La Stoppa - Ageno 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgeno is La Stoppa's landmark orange wine — made from \u003cstrong\u003eMalvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo, and Trebbiano \u003c\/strong\u003egrown on Elena Pantaleoni's 50-hectare estate in the Colli Piacentini hills of northwest Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Four months of skin maceration. A year in barrel. Two years in bottle before release. A serious orange wine for serious orange wine lovers — and the 2022 is perhaps the best vintage yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Ageno by La Stoppa — and what makes 2022 special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Stoppa was founded in the late 19th century by a lawyer named Gian Marco Ageno — the wine carries his name. Today the estate is run by Elena Pantaleoni, who took it over in 1991, and head winemaker Giulio Armani. They farm their Emilia-Romagna estate without chemical input, using native yeasts and making no additions to the wine. Nothing leaves the estate early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are co-harvested and destemmed, fermented with native yeasts in tank with around four months of skin contact, then spend a year in barrel and at least two years in bottle. Ageno typically carries the complexity — and occasional volatile acidity — of a wine that has been through a great deal. The 2022 is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2022 vintage is noticeably softer than previous releases. The volatile acidity that can characterise Ageno in warmer years is so well-integrated here that only the most discerning palate will even sense it — and most won't. Expect peppermint, tangerine, and rosemary on the nose, evolving into greater complexity and a subtle nuttiness as the glass opens. Really incredible, and genuinely our favourite recent vintage.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at room temperature and give it time in the glass — this wine opens and evolves considerably. The natural partner for aged hard cheese, game, roast pork with herbs, or a long and unhurried antipasto spread.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Confetti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36616188821665,"sku":"MORE1489NAT","price":39.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/products\/La-Stoppa---Ageno-2019.png?v=1670532258","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.com\/en-pl\/products\/la-stoppa-ageno-2022","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
