Save the Grape Specialities: Red wine

Save the Grape is Piero Scalambra. A Project that was born by redeveloping a vineyard in Maremma, a vineyard more than 30 years old that gave birth to Fihaia red 2021 and 2022. 

This project was born with the 'goal of creating wines made in a simple and traditional way, aimed at freshness and ready drinking, which at the same time do not fear bottle aging.

From a technical point of view, the Save the Grape wines have in common and are characterized by special and dynamic vinifications, whole cluster fermentations and partial or total prolonged carbonic macerations, fermentation and aging in different materials such as cement, steel and terracotta.

Earlier vintages, lower ph, in one concept: leaner and more elegant wines.

Itinerant and ethical project

Thanks to the carbon dioxide released by this type of winemaking, which saturates the tanks and amphorae, we can use a hygienic minimum amount of added sulfites. 

In "Save the Grape" wines, nothing is added outside of the grape.

The goal of the project is to make single-varietal wines in different areas of Italy, Europe and the World, but that all reflect the same winemaking techniques, thus leaving room for the expression of the grape and the terroir , trying to have as little impact as possible in winery processing. 

No vineyards are replanted or other wineries are built, vineyards from other wineries, and existing spaces in existing wineries are exploited.
