Practicing Organic

~

Aurora (which means dawn in Italian) is also the name of a small and graceful native butterfly that's currently at risk of extinction. These can often be spotted in the vines and inspired the wine's name and label.

Whole-clusters are direct pressed and left to settle for 30 hours. Natural fermentation takes between 15-20 days. The wine is then aged five months in stainless steel tanks.
