Le Coste - 2020 - Rosso

Mostly Sangiovese with Ciliegiolo, Cannaiolo, Vaiano

Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron tend around 14 hectares of land, with vineyards amongst olive groves, chestnut trees, shrubs and oaks. Sat around Lago di Bolsena near Gianmarco’s childhood town of Gradoli in Lazio’s north, the soils are volcanic, rich in iron and minerals. Vines are planted at a density of up to 10,000 plants per hectare, from a mix of massale selections and ungrafted vines. Everything is done by hand, with careful attention to the needs of each plant and while biodynamic principles are employed, the approach here goes above and beyond. The grapes were destemmed and the wine spent three weeks on skins, before being pressed off to large casks for a year of rest. (Maine and Loire)
