About the wine

In 2002, a famous trio led by the Grand Dame of Italian viticulture - Elisabetta Foradori - took over this enchanted business located high on a rock in Roccatederighi in Maremma. Ampeleia: Preserve nature, create something new, wines of an incomparably complex, sensitive, elegance, where the mind counts more than the body. Today, 40 hectares of various terroirs are cultivated biodynamically at 200m to 650m, including in the cellar - Marco Tait involved from the start - noble restraint, spontaneous fermentation, only minimal sulfurization, no filtration, cement instead of oak. The wines speak vividly and reflectively about their origins and develop - even when opened - into fascinatingly mature, noble personalities. Outstanding!

Tasting note
Grand Dame — such a mature and sensual aura that is only given to so few who have made peace with life. This harmonious, heartfelt ripeness, this soft, full dark ripe fruit, also brown tones that seem so pure, so modest in its size, a healthy, warm soul, with depth, tea, and a very fine, dark minerality. On the palate, fine, sensual nobility, so smooth and so skilful, the dark fruit fused with the soft tannins and the green, tart notes. A very big, mature personality, so quiet, so subtle and with such a great, sensual presence.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with pasta with wild ragout, grilled meat, lamb with herbs, spicy vegetable gratin or aged pecorino. Also great with Tuscan home cooking such as ribollita or crostini with mushrooms and truffle oil.
Vinification
Very selective harvesting, fermentation (20% not destemmed) with the vineyard's own yeasts and aging for over 12 months in concrete tanks and wooden barrels, unfiltered.
