The soils are sandy, not dissimilar to Lessona. The vines are biodynamically farmed, using no synthetic materials.

elemental and rich

pale pink with fine bubbles

rose and tabaco

An intense wine with lovely balance and real vigour

This is experimental

it was made to mature earlier than Paolo’s other wines and this is exactly what has been achieved

The grapes are picked by hand and de-stemmed before an extended 10 day maceration on the skins

this meant the fruit set was late and not as generous as usual

Later vintages are lovely

A wine of great elegance that will develop over many years
