‘Rude’ was developed in conversation with his good friend and fellow winemaker Arnaldo Rossi. This is Arnaldo’s notion of fermenting Sangiovese in alternating layers of whole-cluster and destemmed fruit, a Tuscan riff on carbonic methods like a cake or ‘torta.’ 5 day maceration and fermentation in oak, aged in steel and bottled without added sulfite, Marco decided to call the wine ‘Rude’ because this wine is more of a wild character!
