'Fuorilinea' Lunarossa

The Campania IGT 'Fuorilinea' represents a bold experiment and intriguing innovation by the Lunarossa winery, located in the picturesque Monti Picentini in the province of Salerno. This Orange Wine, crafted from Moscato and Fiano grapes, features a truly unique and personal label, showcasing drawings created by local kindergarten children and changing from bottle to bottle. Led by Mario Mazzitelli and supported by winemaker Fortunato Sebastiano, Lunarossa winery embraces tradition while also looking towards innovation, exploring new winemaking techniques and even experimenting with international grape varieties.

The 'Fuorilinea' by Lunarossa is the result of a winemaking process that begins with an extended maceration on the skins of white berries. The winery adopts a tradition-respecting approach inspired by Georgian winemaking, with fermentation taking place in amphorae and spontaneous fermentation supported by indigenous yeasts, thus preserving the authenticity and complexity of the terroir. The maturation journey of Fuorilinea Lunarossa is equally intriguing. After this initial phase, the wine undergoes a nuanced aging process that extends for 24 months. This process is balanced, with 50% of the wine resting in barrels, 25% in amphorae, and the remaining 25% in glazed cement. The combination of these different aging methods contributes to shaping the unique personality of Fuorilinea, providing it with deep complexity, elegance, and structure.

Fuorilinea by Lunarossa presents itself in the glass with an intense orange-yellow color, revealing deep aromas of peach, figs, and spicy hints on the nose, enriched by elderflower and jasmine. On the palate, the pleasing density of the body harmoniously merges with lively acidity, culminating in an extraordinarily long finish. This structured wine pairs magnificently with well-structured seafood appetizers but is equally capable of complementing main dishes such as grilled fish. In each bottle of Fuorilinea Orange Wine, one can savor the passion, enthusiasm, and creativity of Lunarossa, making every sip a journey into the heart of the Colli Picentini.
