A deep, powerful amber wine that is all baked citrus, earth and spice. Raised entirely in terracotta amphorae, this is a wine of incredible depth and texture, with fine tannins framing ripe stone fruits, smoke and spice. Find out more.
About the Wine
A house favourite here from Le Coste. Made with mostly with the local Procanico, the balance being made up with Malvasia, Roscetto, Pedino, Vermentino, Romanesco and Ansonica from vineyards young and old.
From a cooler vintage, the 2022 sees a shorter maceration of just 5 days, before being pressed off into old oak casks for one year of élevage.
Straw yellow in the glass, this vintage is wonderfully light on its feet, with delicate notes of lemon zest, sea salt and minerals offering refreshment in spades.
A natural wine of impeccable balance, where every detail appears to be in place, it’s the perfect companion to robust Roman cuisine (think cacio e pepe). This wine also pairs extraordinarily well with fiery Asian spice too. A house favourite for good reason!
About Le Coste
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. Each year they produce a dizzying number of different wines which are vinified in an ancient cellar in the village's centre where nothing is added at any stage. To taste here is a real treat, Gianmarco is a master of élevage and a real patience in this respect results in some of the purest, most delicious wines we have tried. This is a fascinating project, where the passion and dedication of two people is single handedly putting one of Italy's lesser known villages firmly on the map.
