Description
The original and the best picnic wine, this is a blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Merlot from Montefiascone that were destemmed and spent just a few days on skins, before being pressed off to cuve to rest until bottling in spring. A cooler vintage has produced a lighter, brighter wine with clean notes of red cherry and black liquorice. Served chilled, this is is Italy’s answer to great Beaujolais.
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.
