With origins dating back to Etruscan times, Orvieto is typically crafted from Grechetto and Procanico (the local name for Trebbiano). At La Carraia, fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel, preserving the wine’s naturally bright aromatics and vibrant fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eIn addition to Orvieto, the estate produces a single-vineyard Sangiovese that offers a compelling counterpoint within Central Italy. While Cotarella’s signature style brings structure and depth, the wine maintains freshness and approachability—leaning toward the softer, more easygoing expression found in areas like the Colline Senesi, while complementing the lifted elegance of regions such as Chianti Rufina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pourtal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44240367714407,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0066\/9237\/2583\/files\/SangioveseResized.png?v=1784230520","url":"https:\/\/drinkpourtal.com\/products\/la-carraia-sangiovese-porticina","provider":"Pourtal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
