Produced from selected parcels of Monteulciano grapes grown in the Chieti province of Abruzzo, on southeast Italy’s Adriatic coast. This delicious wine comes from 15-20 year old vines trained using the ancient method of trellising, known as “pergola.” They are planted to clay-rich soils, hand-harvested and wild yeast fermented for 2 weeks on the skins in stainless tanks. After a light fining and filtering, the wine is bottled. It offers rich, bright plum and cherries, with a lip-smacking finish.

In the 23rd generation of wine production (!!!), this very traditional and classic producer has moved to low intervention in the vineyards, renewable energy sources on property, and conservation of local plant and animal life.

The aromas are and intense but at the same time sweet and fruity, with hints of black soft fruit. Pleasant overtone of noble wood, vanilla, and cocoa and a surprising cherry finish. On the palate it is dry, firmly structured, austere, and elegant; well balanced. Excellent persistence of the flavor.

Grapes: Joannita
Organic
Pale yellow-green in colour, with aromas of lemon, ginger, wildflowers, hay and Brothers Johnson funk. A fusion of lemon curd, pear, herbs, orange blossom, chalky minerality and a trace of graham cracker wrapped in tight fizz and fresh acidity. Lemon zest, ginger and eucalyptus compliment the bitter, crisp finish.
Joannita is a very rare grape variety that was bred in 1968 by Johannes Zimmerman at the wine-growing institute in Freiburg, Germany. It is a cross between Riesling, Seyve-Villard, Rulander, and Gutedel that has proven to be fungus and disease resistant in cold, wet climates such as the high Alps.
Matteo Furlani is the 4th generation of his family to farm the tiny plots of vines, 700+ meters in altitude, in the Dolomites of Trentino, northeastern Italy. The estate was always farmed organically, without any chemicals. Matteo has taken this natural approach further, adopting biodynamic methods.

Grapes: Tyroldego
Organic
Deep full rich velvet purple gorgeous. 100% Tyroldego Spontaneous fermentation. Aged in old barrel. Minimal added sulfur
Despite its dark color, Teroldego produces wines that have bright fruit notes, like cranberry and pomegranate, blended in with blackberry and raspberry. Expect spicy pepper, a hint of cinnamon or anise, and black earthiness in there as well.
Decomposed granite soils give a freshness to the wines. Native grapes like they should be: Sergio is obsessive with bottling only the 100% of variety on label. Sadly, lots of Vermentino have Sauvignon Blanc: lots of Cannonau, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
