The Juice Asylum Terzo Grado
ORGANIC / NATURAL / LOW SULPHITE / VEGAN
Mainly Sangiovese, but a big blend of all the lesser known grapes in the field. Very fruit forward, with blackcurrant, cherry, and prune jam, as well as some violet notes on the nose. The palate has more red and black fruit, then a little cedarwood, and a lovely tartness of the finish. Medium bodied with gentle tannins. Beautifully balanced.
Alessio Guidi started The Juice Asylum in 2016, embracing the idea of allowing wine to have an experimental playground where the natural element is encouraged rather than denied and put into a ‘facility’ (an Asylum, if you will) for correction. Since so much time is spent on the selection of the grapes (sourced from biodynamic or organic vineyards in Tuscany) the brief is to use minimal intervention, co-fermentation and different styles of ageing to allow the wine to speak of where it is from rather than be ‘made’.
