Tasting Notes
What a stunning wine this is from Lazio, near Rome. The aromas of this wine are so perfumed and alluring. Watch it as it opens up and develops it's bouquet, it's a beautiful thing. The medium-bodied palate is strawberry and nectar-like. Now I know what it's like to be a bee! A joy to drink this rare beauty. - Chris L
Gianmarco Antonuzi and his wife Clementine Bouveron tend around 14 hectares of land, with vineyards and olive groves sitting around the volcanic Lake Bolsena, in Gianmarco’s childhood town of Gradoli in Lazio. Gianmarco, after studying law in Rome, spent time working as a food and wine journalist. It was there he started to taste some very distinctive wines and decided on a career change. Before returning to his native land to make his own wine, Gianmarco decided to spend time with some of those French winemakers who inspired him. From 2002 to 2005 he worked in Alsace with Bruno Shueller (where he met his wife Clementine), Leon de Barral in Languedoc, Dard & Ribo in Rhone Valley, La Pierre in Beaujoulais and Pacalet in Bourgogne. His wine reflects the lessons of these years, with a strict adherence to conscientious agriculture (they’re vineyards are certified organic, but their practices go beyond that in many senses – a conversation best had over a glass of wine!) and concise, clean winemaking. - Importer Note
