The name ‘Longana’ refers to a mythical creature that resides in caves perched above the cliffs of the northern Adriatic Sea. This 2023 vintage is a natural wine but lost its certified organic stamp due to new U.S. regulations. The viticulture and winemaking processes remain the same, with farming practices still adhering to organic standards. This vibrant magenta wine offers enticing aromas of red flowers, herbs, and bright red berries. It’s juicy and rich on the palate, with lively acidity that enhances the red fruit and floral flavors. The finish is satisfyingly long and memorable.
