Description

VINEYARD | A small vineyard of less than half a hectare located in the municipality of Brusnengo. The vines, about 45 years old, emerge from the living rock on which they rest, creeping through the cracks in the stone. The wine comes from here, from the grapes of a single vineyard 300 meters above sea level to enhance its origin and the bare, almost naked soil from which it comes, which gives it an intriguing mineral note. After ripening, the resulting must remains in contact with the skins for a period of 30 days, and the wine ages for about 22 months in Slavonian barrels.

PERSONS | Commendable work by Andrea Mosca and Giovanna Pepe Diaz, who left the big city to live in close contact with nature, producing wines of great quality. The creation of a new winery allows them to continuously experiment through labels that express the personality of each vineyard more and more precisely; the new labels confirm the goodness of this choice. The productive heart is among the volcanic sites typical of the Bramaterra area, but equally significant results come from the sandier slopes of Lessona.

WINE | In the glass the color is particularly light and brilliant, the aromas are slow and very fine. It opens delicately on tones of gentian and bay leaf, small black fruits and a nice undertone of dried flowers. The mouth is sumptuous, it is both austere and deep, fine and polished on the tactile plane, with a savory crescendo that is nothing short of exciting. It has a special charm, very fine in its hints of earth and spice, with fragrant fruit and an energetic finish between tones of nutmeg and rhubarb. On the palate it is pure rock.
