Salo o le 120 Giornate di Sodome

Salò is our own perspective on dry Mavrodaphne — a wine that carries all the qualities we seek and want to find in the wines we drink, but above all, share with you. Its label, inspired by Pasolini’s infamous and banned film and designed by Panos Chaviaras, challenges the conventional image of the variety as we know it through its appellations. Salò is a raw expression of the variety’s unique fruit, aiming for immediacy. It is made from organically grown grapes from ungrafted vines, cultivated in the historic vineyards of Vatsa on the Paliki peninsula in Kefalonia. The wine sees no oak at all. This Mavrodaphne has the fruit-forward immediacy of a maceration carbonique, combined with the variety’s authentic aromatics in the glass: wild berries, red fruits, herbal notes, gentle noble tannins, and refreshing acidity. An anarchic expression of the variety.
