The 'vin col fondo' is a naturally re-fermented white sparkling wine made with 100% Glera fruit and its must. After a maturation in vats, it is then bottled, and thanks to specific temperature control (15-18°C), the yeast ferments the residual sugars, saturating the wine into bubbles. After about about 60 days, the yeast settles at the bottom of the bottle leaving that unmistakable and unique natural preservative that leads to the wine’s characteristic aroma, texture, and flavor.

“Rigomale is the name of a nearby creek or ditch, but also an unconventional skin-macerated white, the son of two opposite vinifications. The long journey of Trebbiano left to rest on the skins for 5 months in amphora meets Malvasia direct-press, for for acidity and vibrancy. Blended and finished in concrete before bottling.”

“It is the saline expression of Sangiovese. Direct pressing of the grapes. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel.”

“It is our daring tour in pursuit of the grapes with greater acidity and freshness. Mainly Sangiovese with about 5% Malvasia. Semi-carbonic maceration with 20 days skin contact and aging in concrete. A wine without unnecessary frills from this mountain Maremma.”

“It is the selection of the best grapes from the highest plots at 600 meters. Here, 80% Sangiovese meets Ciliegiolo, Alicante Nero (Grenache), Montepulciano, but also other unknown varieties. It is our thought translated into wine.
Fermentation with a percentage of whole clusters takes place in terracotta and ceramic amphorae where it remains there for about 4 months. After racking it rests in amphora for another 5/6 months; its journey ends with an aging in bottle for about 10 months.
A long journey in search of refinement and elegance.”

Joannita is a very rare grape variety that was bred in 1968 by Johannes Zimmerman at the wine growing institute in Freiburg, Germany. It is a cross between Riesling, Seyve-Villard, Rulander and Gutedel that has proven to be fungus and disease reisistent in cold, wet climates such as the high Alps. It can be found rarely, in tiny pockets of Switzerland and Germany.

“The name Nemico is a tribute to the Volcanic lake of Nemi which our cellar overlooks (the reason why we chose it). It is our first wine, the one we are most fond of and that represents us the most.
Trebbiano and Malvasia in maceration on the skins for 30% of the mass and then complete the spontaneous fermentation in fiberglass. It is the most authentic expression of his vineyard in Velletri and it is exactly what we had in mind when we decided to make wine in the Castelli Romani. A territorial white, fresh and irreverent, a wine in which minerality and aroma are in perfect balance with each other for a long, changeable and deep drink.

It is “the nemesis” but it is good .. trust me. It is the enemy only of bad people!”

“Elegant but at the same time deeply material. Difficult to frame in the classic schemes of purity. Rosario is a frontier wine that reveals energy and sensuality from the first to the last sip.
The soul of Trebbiano and Malvasia meets 1/4 of the best Nero Buono in direct pressing. They unite, they influence each other, they find strength in intermingling. They ferment together, spontaneously, in fiberglass, giving unexpected acidity, elegance, fruit and depth. There is the vineyard and there is the volcano but there is also something elusive; the salt and balsamic of Mediterranean herbs.
Rosario is a hymn to freedom and letting go, it combines strength and refinement, a territorial heart and originality. Rosario is the new, half-caste rosé of the Castelli Romani!”

“/Schic•che•rà•re/ drink often and abundantly wine or liqueurs ≈ raise your elbow, drink, drank ≈ get drenched, put your hair down, gulp.
La Schicchera is a rosé with compulsive drinking. It is for partying and revelry, for noisy dinners, crowded clubs and summer nights. We use Trebbiano, Malvasia and Nero Buono in full-cluster carbonic maceration in steel to load the aromatic bomb and explode the most fruity and intense characters of the grapes.
Subtle tannins, freshness, lots of acidity and the impetuousness of youth. The Schicchera is agile, quick and immediate. To drink in a flash!”

“We wanted a fresh, direct and spontaneous red. A powerful and expressive red that reached everyone, that represented the territory without hiding its sometimes rustic but always authentic character. L’Operaio is a wine for daily hardships and big parties in the square. It is a popular red, made with the hands and the heart.
60% Nero Buono from Guyot-trained vines on volcanic soil, exposed to the sea near Circeo, 40% Trebbiano and Malvasia, from tendone-trained vines. 24-36 hours skin contact.
The white and red grapes are co-fermented and aged in fiberglass before bottling for a wine of great freshness, surprising acidity and crunchy tannins that lengthen and complete the drink.
There is everything, red fruit and minerality, body, acidity and balsamic notes.
Drinkers from all over the world. Unite!”

“Once upon a time there was a dream called Romanella , the Castelli champagne, a magical bubble. Forgotten, or worse, destroyed in recent decades, it is a symbol of everything there is to rebuild in the world of Castelli Romani wine. And we decided to try.
Friccica is our ancestral sparkling wine from Bellone and Malvasia grapes directly pressed in steel. We bottle it with a little residual sugar to complete, with the first warm ones, its natural refermentation in the bottle.
Friccica is a spark, a light shock that pervades the soul, a fresh, immediate, decisive bubble. No opulence, essential. Just monstrous drinkability.”

Partial primary fermentation in open top resin tank before aging in fiberglass until February when the wine was bottled. It then underwent natural re-fermentation in the bottle with frozen must from the same wine. No sulfur additions.

Being Sardinian, Giovanni has a love for his native white grape, Vermentino. I love Vermentino so I was excited to hear about this unique Umbrian expression of the grape. 2 days on the skins, stainless steel, no sulfur additions. Roughly 1000 bottles made.

"Chiaretto" is to Sardegna what 'Cerasuolo' is to Sicily....often a lighter, fresher blend of bright, acidity-driven grape varieties. In this case, being in Umbria, the wine is 90% Vernaccia Rossa with 10% Ciliegiolo. The blend will vary from year to year but bright, fresh and spicy is what this one is all about. Serve chilled. Made in stainless steel/cement, no sulfur. ~1000 bottle production.

The rosso, or "rozzo" in this case is a more profound yet ever bright and juicy red wine. This vintage is 90% Sangiovese with 10% Montepulciano. Again, the blend will vary year to year on this cuvée, but expect this to be a wine that is ripe, easy to drink and has a unique sense of Umbrian territory. ~2000 bottles produced.

“Vintage 2020, 100% Trebbiano Spoletino in purity. Harvest in mid-September, trying to take Trebbiano in an “uncomfortable” position, less mature. Seven days of maceration with the skins in open vats, then drawn off. Aging in stainless steel from October, then directly in the bottle from April 2021. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. In search of elegance hidden in the details, nature tells how much flavor and how much intensity there can be when you leave it free to do so. A wine dedicated to my land, to its June smells and to a word that in Serbo-Croatian means “nothing” and that every woman in the world uses when she wants to mean "everything". “

“Vintage 2020, simultaneous harvest of all the grapes at the end of August (Merlot 60%, Sangiovese 35%, Trebbiano Spoletino 5%). Passed directly to the wine press and fermented in stainless steel, without skins. After the fermentation, aged in stainless steel until April 2021 and then directly in the bottle. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. Fragrant, fresh, tasty. Dedicated to MILTON, the main character of "Una questione privata (A private affair)" by Beppe Fenoglio, a hero of Italian Resistance, who while immersing his life into the salvation of his homeland, is obsessed with the thought of the woman he loves and who may have betrayed him. Perhaps we are all absorbed in important projects and tasks, always with our mind and heart immersed in our emotions. Severe as a white, excited as a red, Or otherwise... My Rosato.”

In Marco’s words - Assembly of the red grapes of my vineyard, vinified for half without contact with the skins and for the remaining part with a short maceration of 4 days. After fermentation, separate refinements in fiberglass and then, on the first day of winter, December 21st, final assembly. Dedicated to Ferdinand Bardamú, protagonist of the “Voyage au boits de la nuits“, by my beloved Louis Ferdinand Celine. It is the wine that most of all has been together with my anxieties of autumn, the tormented period of fermentations: the personal fear of showing the kind part of my soul.

Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Malvasia, Trebbiano and Grechetto. Spontaneous fermentation with 3 days skin maceration in separate fermentation vats. Combined and aged in stainless steel for 5 months before bottling. Far from the easy wines of today, it is a tribute to the carefree wines of a few generations ago. A wine for those who are not afraid of wine; a snack mate, useful to recover from fatigue and to find words when they are lost. Marco’s white, dressed in red.

“Vintage 2020, 100% Sangiovese in purity. Harvest in early September. Maceration with the skins in open vats until the alcoholic fermentation is completed, then in steel. Finally in the bottle from April 2021. Just one pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. With the lees in suspension from November to March. Tense, juicy, pungent, grumpy, restless, bony. Dedicated to the year of my birth, which was beautiful and terrible. Joyful, carefree but also dark and violent as well. Inspired by the only one word I can never pronounce without stumbling. As a key song for me said: “Ask Settantasette (Seventy-seven) if you don't know how to do it”. My way of looking at a hard year, an extraordinary grape, a generous land with today's eyes.

“Vintage 2019, 100% Sangiovese in purity. Short maceration of 4 days on the skins. Then refinement in fiber-glass until December 2020. In steel until April 2021, then in the bottle.A wine born to be a SETTANTA-SETTE that instead rebelled and decided to go on a long solitary journey of refinement and definition. Two pre-bottling decanting. Fermented with its yeasts, without added sulfur nor temperature control, without filtration nor clarification. A wine that “HAPPENS” (“ACCADE” in Italian) which represents for me the trust in the “natural” choice: if a wine breathes clean energy, love and a touch of madness, it will never remain unfinished. It will only be up to his winemaker to know how to wait for it. My “special” bottle.”

“Lamoresca Bianco is crafted from Vermentino, a typical Mediterranean variety. Thriving in island settings near the sea, these plants were planted as bush vines on our farm in 2006 at an altitude of 430 m above sea level. Cultivated in clay soil, these vines impart a salty note to the wines. This well-structured white wine holds significant aging potential.”

100% Vermentino di Corso. Destemmed and fermented on skins for 2-3 days depending on the vintage. Pressed to large truncated conical vat of Slavonian Oak for aging. Racked at least 3 times before bottling. Natural malolactic fermentation. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining.

“Our Rosato is a mix of traditional grapes that capture the Sicilian style of Rosato. It's refreshing and full of Mediterranean flavors. The blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola brings in the playfulness and structure, and a bit of Zibibbo adds a subtle flowery touch. Perfect for relaxed moments, as an aperitif or combined with seafood.

Our Rosato 2023 is unique due to challenges with downy mildew during the 2023 harvest, leading to a shortage of Frappato. Consequently, this year's blend comprises 20% Frappato, 75% Nero D'Avola, and 5% Zibbibo, resulting in a captivating Rosato with a delightful balance of structure and playful red fruit notes.

The higher proportion of Nero D'Avola lends a much deeper color than usual, making for a truly special and intriguing rosé. Even though we find this structure interesting, we will return to the normal ratio of Frappato next year.”

3-4 hours of skin maceration in vertical "tini", then a gentle pressing and aging in stainless steel tanks.

“Nerocapitano is born from the Sicilian tradition of crafting a wine exclusively from Frappato grapes. In the Sicilian dialect, Frappato is referred to as Capitano Nero, hence the name. This wine is light on alcohol and is best enjoyed when young. We recommend serving this wine lightly chilled during the summer, paired with a simple pizza.”

100% Frappato. 14 days of maceration on the skin in vertical “tini”, the skin gets manually pressed down 2 times a day, without temperature control or added yeasts. At the end of fermentation (sometimes before if tannins are too intense) he uses an old-fashioned manual basket press for softly pressing the must back to avoid pulling ‘sharp tannins.’ The wine is aged in concrete through the winter and is racked at least three times. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining.

“Lamoresca Rosso is crafted by blending two grape varieties, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, both typical of our region near the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG area. It was our first wine and a perfect marriage of these varietals. Nero d'Avola contributes sharp tannins and a robust body, harmonized by the Frappato's easy, red cherry fruitiness. The blend evolves each year, influenced by the vintage, quality, and our preferences.”

60% Frappato, 35% Nero d’Avola with a small amount of Grenache. 30 days of maceration on the skins in vertical “tini”, the skin gets manually pressed down 2 times a day, without temperature control or added yeasts. Pressed and blended after fermentation in 25 year old truncated conical vat of Slavonian oak for aging. Racked at least three times before bottling.. Aged for 12 months. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining.

“This wine originated from the concept of creating a blend with 3 different grape varieties on 3 different terroirs. The Nerello Mascalese grows in a very hard and salty clay substrate. The Frappato and Nero d'Avola grow in sandy soil and limestone. This results in a highly concentrated wine with pronounced tannins and elevated alcohol content. We think this wine also possesses significant aging potential.”

Nerello Mascalese 70%, Frappato 15% and Nero d'Avola 15%. 3 weeks of maceration on the skins, 1 year in concrete tanks, 2 years in the bottle.

“We aim to craft a distinctive Nero d'Avola. This journey begins with intensive work in the vineyard. The grapes are selected from vineyards featuring vines aged at least 70 years and others that are 10 years old. Subsequently, in the winery, we employ a technique of extremely long skin maceration. This approach helps the Nero d'Avola shed its typical sharp tannins, resulting in a highly elegant wine. We then allow it to mature for at least an additional 3 years in our cellar before introducing it to the market. This wine is created to restore honor to a grape variety that has traditionally been misunderstood in Sicily.”

The Morastello sparkling red wine gets its name from the local dialect for the Ciliegiolo grape.

100% sangiovese liter format from albarello trained vines. This wine also incorporates semi-carbonic maceration. Arnaldo calls this his "vino di soccorso" or "emergency wine" that he decided to bottle as a liter during the throws of the Italian lockdown...it's not a "cheap and easy" liter, rather a serious wine that is super delicious and fun to drink...and it's helping Arnaldo keep the lights on at the Taverna.

100% sangiovese from the same hilltop, schist-soiled vineyard as the Selle dell'Acuto red wine he makes. This, however, is done with semi-carbonic maceration and aged only in cement and stainless steel, making it fresher and more lively, less classico than the Selle cuvee.

This is 100% Sangiovese from Arnaldo's tiny vineyard plot on the crest of the ridge line between Corton and Castiglion Fiorentino (where Arnaldo lives).  The "Selle" means the saddle of the hilltop and the plot is high in elevation, has amazing exposure so the grapes are generously ripe and the soils are rich in calcareous-clay.  Half the wine is aged in cement while the other half is aged in old barrel. If you can only get one cuvee from Arnaldo, get some of this! 

Truly a rare bird!  This is Arnaldo's top cuvee and the one he makes, of course, the least of.  This Sangiovese is wild, deep and stout.  Longer skin maceration, fermentation in old oak and aging for 2 years in an old tonneaux. *very very limited

Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara. A throwback to what real, family style “Ripasso” used to be in the Veneto. In nearby Valpolicella, the Ripasso wines are made by passing the fresh pressed juice over the spent skins of the dried grapes used to make Amarone. But, in the Lake Garda region and Bardolino DOC, the old family style "Ripasso" involved passing the fermenting juice over the grapes used to make Chiaretto. The result is a lighter, more ethereal red wine. In the case of this wine, the juice is passed over the skins of the “Esotico” (above). Aged in stainless steel. No filtering or fining and minimal added sulfur as necessary.
