Marina Palusci's MILF!! (yes, those exclamation points are part of the name) is a textured, rustic and slightly wild expression of Passerina, an indigenous white grape variety from Abruzzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fourth generation family estate in Pianella has been cultivating vineyards and olive groves for generations, now led by Massimiliano d'Addario with a focus on natural winemaking. The MILF!! comes from 44-year-old Passerina vines, with grapes undergoing 19 days of skin contact maceration enough time to extract vibrant color, tannin, phenolics, and deep complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a gentle soft press, the wine rests for 12 months on its lees in concrete tanks, adding further texture and richness. The 2017 vintage has now developed beautiful tertiary characteristics: pinaepple, dried apricot, honeyed nuts, chamomile tea, preserved lemon, and a saline, umami driven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is orange wine with real substance and age-worthiness. The extended maceration gives it structure, grip, and a golden-amber color, while the time in concrete preserves freshness and minerality. The result is wild, funky, and utterly captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name draws inspiration from playful local feminine refrences linked to the Passerina grape name, and from the wine’s distinctive aging process, though we’ll leave the rest to your imagination!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with aged parmesan, roasted mushrooms, grilled octopus, miso-glazed vegetables, or rich seafood pasta. Serve cool but not cold (around 12-14°C) to appreciate its full aromatic range. A wine that rewards adventurous palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: c3bb446e-b244-4a00-939b-108c82ea6b96 --\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 3d04fe06-9986-4fdb-94b6-0d4e856918b1 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FOX WINE COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42807010689091,"sku":null,"price":58.53,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1098\/6819\/files\/IMG_7266_JPEG.jpg?v=1765923953","url":"https:\/\/foxwinecompanybottleshop.myshopify.com\/products\/marina-palusci-milf-passerina-2017","provider":"FOX WINE COMPANY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
