Alma is 100% Croatina from Fattoria Mondo Antico's 1.5-hectare vineyard in Rocca Susella, a small municipality in the province of Pavia in Oltrepo Pavese, Lombardy. The vines were planted in 1993 using high-density Guyot training and are composed of two local Croatina clones. They sit at around 350 meters elevation on limestone, calcareous clay, and sand soils, with a south-southwest aspect that supports even ripening into late October.
Farming is certified organic (Bioagricert) with integrated biodynamic practices. The Tiraboschi family has farmed this way since 2000, using animal and green manure in place of synthetic inputs. The vineyards are surrounded by woods that naturally isolate them from neighboring plots. Harvest is done exclusively by hand between late October and early November.
In the cellar, fermentation takes place in steel tanks using only indigenous yeasts, with no sulfite additions. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Total sulfites measure below 10 mg/L. Roughly 3,000 bottles are produced per vintage. The wine carries the De.Co. Rocca Susella denomination.
Croatina is the dominant red grape of Oltrepo Pavese, where it is also known locally as Bonarda. It produces wines with deep color, red and black fruit character, and a characteristic light grip on the finish. Alma shows a violet-tinged ruby color, aromas of black cherry and earth, and a palate of juicy berries with smooth, round tannins and lively acidity.
