Sangiovese from a thirty year old parcel planted over clay in Orvieto. The grapes were destemmed, fermented on the skins for a month and the wine spent nine months resting in vat. Bright cherry in colour, the nose is thick with spice, while the palate offers firm tannins and a pleasant herbaceous character that screams for something beautiful off the grill.

These are charming, rustic and easy-drinking wines, but the basis of the project is more than just making wine. Patricia wants to build a farm that both practically and culturally provides an alternative to industrial agriculture and the way of life that comes with it. In her own words, her wines are “vini contadini”, as they have always been drunk among farmers who cultivated their own vineyards with conscience and respect.
