Location: France, Roussillon, Banyuls
Winemakers: Manuel di Vecchi Staraz
Grapes: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan
Winemaking: Organic farming, hand harvest. The Carignan, Syrah and Grenache are direct pressed. The Mourvèdre is macerated for 10 days.The wine ferments with indigenous yeast and ages in stainless steel and concrete tanks.
This wine is made within the Collioure appellation but is intentionally declassified to Vin de France.
Each wine is named after a fruit in either Portuguese, Italian or Catalan. A morango is a strawberry in Portuguese.
From the Importer Louis/Dressner: Tutti Frutti Ananas is a négociant project helmed by Manuel di Vecchi Staraz. As the wines produced from his own estate Vinyer de la Ruca are extremely limited, (the steep schist hills of Collioure/Banyuls are notoriously low-yielding), the goal of Tutti Frutti Ananas is to offer a more approachable expression of the area's local terroirs.
The vast majority of the fruit comes from the sector of Saint-André. Unlike in Banyuls and Collioure, parcels here can be worked mechanically and the soils of decomposed schists, quartz and sand are higher yielding than the traditional terracedvineyards on pure schist. Manuel also contributes a bit of fruit from his parcels in Collioure, most notably for "Magrano" and "Mirtillo".
The hodgepodge name Tutti Frutti Ananas is inspired by the original collaborators' Italian, Portuguese and Catalan backgrounds, with each cuvée named after a fruit in one of those three languages. They are fermented naturally and bottled unfiltered with little to no sulfur added only at bottling. The wine's label clearly indicates if S02 was used or not; at this point the whites tend to see a gram at bottling while the reds are always bottled without sulfur.
