Etna Bianco was first put into production in 2005 and Carricante is the dominant variety in the blend with a percentage of 70% depending on the year. Carricante is a grape defined by the minerality and saltiness of the terroir. A feast of other field-blends such as Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia make up the rest of the wine. Etna's whites are still...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
The nose reveals aromas of grapefruit, lime, lemon, and apricot, while the palate is characterized by refreshing acidity and relatively good volume. It was vinified in stainless steel tanks and remained in contact with the lees for a few months to develop more character and texture. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, fried fish, and fresh salads.
With Etna Bianco from the dramatic, dark, volcanic ash-filled terroir of Santo Spirito, Marco de Grazia takes fruit ripeness, complexity, and length on the palate to another level. Initially somewhat closed and compact, over time it unfolds a deep, earthy, mineral dimension and greater extroversion in the fruit, which borders on the exotic. The barrel is...
The Champalou family's dry Vouvray is a perfect representation of the region's style. It is a textbook example of the Chenin Blanc variety as expressed in this corner of the Loire. Here the chameleonic dimension of the grape, which can display many different "faces", finds its most classic expression. Unripe tropical fruit, fleshy lemons, honey and...
The blend is dominated by Assyrtiko, with Malagouzia accounting for approximately 20%, enhancing the aromatic intensity alongside the characteristic freshness and pulsating energy of the wine. The vineyards are organically cultivated, with the grapes pressed whole, together with the stems. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, with indigenous yeasts, in...
Amphibolite remains in contact with the lees for six months. Vinification takes place in concrete underground tanks and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, as Jo does with all his wines. It is by no means a neutral wine and remains entirely consistent with the style of the region. Mineral, with beautifully juicy if slightly acidic citrus...
Les Graviers comes from six different vineyards covering a total area of 2.8 hectares, all organically farmed since 1999 and biodynamically since 2004, certified by Ecocert and Biodyvin. The harvest is manual, the grapes are pressed whole with a pneumatic press, fermentation is indigenous, and aging lasts 24 months in 228-liter barrels, 15% of which are...
