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.

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

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.

Issues du terroir pentu de la Vigna San Gallo, au sol de nature calcaire et exposée Sud, les vieilles vignes de glera (90 %) sont ici accompagnées de variétés autochtones (bianchetta, verdiso).

The Mediterranean islands of Italy, with their unique history and culture, offer a perfect example of an original wine heritage preserved and enhanced by winemakers who are both demanding and faithful to their tradition.

Sicily is particularly famous for the incomparable volcanic vineyards of Etna and its autochthonous Nerello, Carricante and Grecanico Dorato grapes, while Pantelleria, the small volcanic island next door, magnifies its Zibibbo grape. Sardinia, with a handful of emblematic winemakers, highlights its many traditional grape varieties that are too often forgotten. The terroirs and the winegrowers invite you to take a journey through the Mediterranean world and bear witness to the singularly lively and exciting character of Italian winegrowing.

Cépage rouge à forte acidité naturelle, typique du Piémont, la barbera donne des rouges frais et plein, aux tannins modérés, d'approche plus immédiate que les vins de nebbiolo.

Made from a Pinot Gris vineyard - a very common grape variety in Trentino - on gravelly soil, this is a white wine made by maceration "off the beaten track" which is radically different from the common production.

Un terroir unique, situé dans le cru Chiusa Spagnolo, sorte d'amphithéâtre de roche volcanique dans la contrada Zottorinoto, avec des vieilles vignes de nerello mascalese franches de pied (plantées vers 1925).
