Description

Whilst this iconic rosé never ceases to impress, this might be one of the best yet. The grapes come from a fifty year old parcel of Aleatico planted some five hundred metres above sea level and are pressed directly and aged in a combination of old barrels and porcelain amphorae. Reflecting the freshness of the vintage, this is pale, nuanced and whistle clean, offering delicate notes of minerals, blood orange and rose.

Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron tend around 14 hectares of land, with vineyards amongst olive groves, chestnut trees, shrubs and oaks. Sat around Lago di Bolsena near Gianmarco’s childhood town of Gradoli in Lazio’s north, the soils are volcanic, rich in iron and minerals. Vines are planted at a density of up to 10,000 plants per hectare, from a mix of massale selections and ungrafted vines. Everything is done by hand, with careful attention to the needs of each plant and while biodynamic principles are employed, the approach here goes above and beyond.
