This is a supremely well-balanced, aromatic white blend from Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron of Le Coste. They tend ~14 hectares of vines (a wide mix of old and young vines) at high elevations in the north of Italy’s Lazio region, around Lago di Bolsena in the town of Gradoli (Gianmarco’s childhood home).

Vinification: A blend of Procanico (sibling of Trebbiano) and Malvasia hand-harvested from 50 year-old vines grown in volcanic soil. After a medium maceration (several days), the grapes+fermenting juice are gently pressed into old barrels where it will finish fermentation and rest for a year. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no additional SO2. 12.5%ABV
