Smashable Glou Glou Box Set, Lammidia

Lammidia: Bianco Carbo ‘18

Best buds from the age of 3, Davide & Marco grew into such rampant natty heads that they decided to make their own! Their slogan ‘100% grapes’ is frankly genius & their pash for the ‘glou glou’ (or glug glug, meaning utterly smashable) is hardcore realness. The name is born of a historic dialect, mmidia meaning envy or evil eye, kept at bay by ritual & blessings.
Hand harvested from a 1 hectare vineyard of 25 year old vines, this lightning bolt gets it’s name from undergoing whole bunch carbonic maceration as it spends 2 weeks in a carbon dioxide rich environment while fermentation begins. The vessel of choice for fermentation & ageing is concrete, leading to the development of intense fruit & balsamic notes while retaining freshness & acidity. Down the hatch…stat!

Organic, skin contact, unfiltered, vegan

Lammidia: Rosato ‘18

Now, this is a rose from well outside the box- just how I like it! With a focus on freshness & neckability, these grapes were harvested early with a low sugar level to maintain sharp acidity. Fermented in fiberglass & aged in steel, the nose shows strawberry, black cherry & pomegranate. The palate follows through with a herbal Mediterranean scrub vibe. She’s crunchy & hella delicious!

Lammidia: Rosso Anfora ‘16

These beautiful grapes were hand harvested from 25 year old vines. The 1 hecare vineyard is grown on clay & limestone and the grapes were de-stemmed, gently foot crushed & fermented on skins for 3 weeks in amphora. The juice remained on the fine lees for a further 10 months before completing ageing in amphora for a light, fresh finish.
