Oltre Confine 2021 Vini Clandestini

Oltre Confine 2021 – The thin line between white and red by Vini Clandestini

A hybrid, vibrant wine where skin-contact meets instinct

Oltre Confine 2021 is an unclassifiable wine, a true manifesto of the expressive freedom pursued by Vini Clandestini. Born from an unconventional blend of white and red grapes grown near Offida, in the Marche region, it defies every stylistic rule and embraces nature in its purest form. The vineyards are cultivated without synthetic chemicals, in total respect of biodiversity and manual farming practices. The grape varieties vary slightly each year, typically including Trebbiano, Malvasia, with small percentages of Sangiovese and Montepulciano vinified gently.

Manual harvest ensures optimal ripeness, followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open vats. The skins remain in contact with the juice for a variable period depending on the vintage. There is no temperature control, no filtration, and no added sulfites—this is a wine that creates itself, shaped by the rhythm of nature. Aging occurs in stainless steel or fiberglass tanks to preserve freshness while building depth.

Oltre Confine 2021 presents an ever-changing hue, with amber and copper highlights, offering aromas of Mediterranean herbs, citrus zest, white fruit, and light spice. On the palate, it’s juicy and energetic, with a subtle tannic texture and a savory, persistent finish. It pairs beautifully with spiced dishes, ethnic cuisine, couscous, white meat, soups, and medium-aged cheeses. Not a white, not a red, not a classic orange: just Oltre Confine.

Vini Clandestini – Nature, anarchy and truth in the heart of the Marche

A radical agricultural project between Offida and the Apennines

In the heart of the Marche region, among the hills surrounding Offida, lies Vini Clandestini, a small farming and winemaking venture driven by a radical and deeply personal vision of wine. Far from any oenological formalities, this winery follows nature as its only guide, choosing to work outside official appellations and free from market conventions or so-called technical correctness. The name itself, “Vini Clandestini”, reflects a rebellious, independent soul that puts spontaneity and terroir sincerity at its core.

A living, uncompromising agriculture

Everything starts in the vineyard, where vines grow on calcareous and clay soils, exposed to gentle Marche slopes and Adriatic breezes. No herbicides, chemical treatments or invasive interventions are used. Manual farming and attentive observation guide the seasonal work. Indigenous varieties like Passerina, Pecorino, Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Sangiovese are the foundation of their wines, crafted either in single-variety expressions or blends, depending on the vintage and the moment’s intuition. Biodiversity plays a crucial role, with medicinal herbs grown among the vines, later used in the production of their unique vermouths.

In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations and no tricks

Winemaking follows the same philosophy: spontaneous fermentations without selected yeasts, enzymes or clarifying agents. Wines evolve naturally, aged slowly in steel or fiberglass on fine lees. No filtration is applied, and sulfites are absent or minimal. Each label reflects the vintage and the creative instinct of the winemaker. The cellar is a place of listening rather than manipulation—the wine is not “made”; it is allowed to express itself.

Wines, vermouths, and free-form experiments

Vini Clandestini offers a range of wines: structured skin-contact whites, lively reds, and intensely aromatic vermouths crafted with hand-harvested herbs and no oenological interference. Each bottle is a manifesto, a call to forget conventions and to experience wine in its raw, artisanal essence.

A poetic and direct language of rebellion and truth

Vini Clandestini is more than a label—it’s a voice. A voice that speaks of land, independence and clarity. It refuses to conform or soften, staying true to itself. Every bottle, every sip, tells this story of raw authenticity and living nature.
