Costa Toscana Il Ghizzano  2017

Friulano – previously known as Tocai Friulano – is one of the Collio region’s indigenous grape varieties. The estate’s oldest vines (planted in 1936), on clay-marl soils: the grapes macerate for 3 days, the wine is then aged for 24 months in barrel.

La contrada Barbabecchi, autour de 900 m d'altitude et exposée au soleil levant, avec ses très vieilles vignes centenaires de nerello mascalese franches de pied, donne le “grand cru” Magma du domaine dans les millésimes exceptionnels. En 2010 elle a offert cette cuvée “anniversaire”.

A "Reserve" cuvée made from a selection of Procanico grapes, a local variety of Trebbiano from nearby Tuscany.

Un assemblage de garganega (80 %) et de trebbiano di Soave du terroir argilo-calcaire des “Vigne di Mezzane”, deux cépages typiques de la Vénétie. Élevage de plusieurs mois sur lies fines.

Malvasia di Candia aromatica is macerated for 270 days with the skins to obtain a golden color and a complex and aromatic juice, with body and tonicity.

Entirely made from old vines of nerello mascalese from different plots - especially of "crus" - the "classic" vintage of the estate.

Nerello Mascalese from the lower part of the vast Feudo di Mezzo "contrada", at 580m altitude, on a north-facing slope. Destemmed, macerated for around 50 days, and matured in vats for 18 months before bottling.

Le Coste is an estate that is emblematic of the development and influence of natural wines in Italy. It was founded in 2004 by Gian-Marco Antonuzi and Clementine Bouveron in Gradoli, at the northern tip of Lazio on the border of Tuscany, on the volcanic slopes overlooking Lake Bolsena. In the management of their vineyards, the winegrowers are determined to refuse monoculture, to defend biodiversity and respect for a rich environment, and to favor natural vinification without inputs or corrective interventions.
