“VERNACCIA TORRI” Vernaccia di San Gimignano D.o.c.g.
€15.00First Italian wine to be classified as DOC in 1966, and since then DOCG thanks to its continually increasing quality. This wine goes back to the time of Dante and Boccaccio. Michelangelo mentions it in his writings and he refers to it as "the wine that tingles, bites and stings". It has always been a favourite amongst classy gourmets, princes and popes. In The Divine Comedy, Dante immortalizes it as deserving a place in Purgatory, where punishment for gluttons constitutes the absence of eel and Vernaccia! Interestingly enough some experts believe that the Tuscan Vernaccia originated in Liguria, in the Cinque Terre area, at Vernazza. Indeed at close scrutiny, the Vernaccia grape is not that different to the Bosco grape in shape and yielding capacity, although a little less in shape of cluster and colour.

In this contest, San Gimignano occupies a distinct position because of its ideal soil and climate as well as its historical beauty. Here, Pietraserena, which has been described by Zeffirelli as "one of the most beautiful portions of the area", stands amongst the vineyards, on a terrain that uncovers Pliocenic sea shells till this day!

The grapes must be virtually perfect in every respect to withstand this process, which takes place “under the roof” from September to December. The pressing then takes place approximately one week before Christmas. When the grapes have sufficiently withered, their sugar concentration is incredibly high and the must obtained is excellent: dense, syrupy and almost honey like. Fermentation takes place in very small oak and chestnut casks, which are kept under the roof. The casks have been sealed with wax or cement . Maturation takes place over a period of 3-4 years. From the freezing winter nights to the heat of summer and forever present breezes, the seasons rotate to create this nectar which well deserves to be called "Santo", that is “Holy”.
Cinqueterre Doc
“PIPATO” Selezione Cinqueterre Bianco Doc
€29.00 – €45.00A few years ago we had as a friendly consultant a great Tuscan oenologist, who was literally in love with the Cinqueterre. He lived almost in another dimension, struck by the landscapes, the streets on the walls, the sea and its sunsets, as by the unique and ancient way of "giving sulfur" with the cluster bunch of grapes, enchanted by ancient customs being a biodynamic, and therefore linked to the most sincere nature. One day he tasted the wine directly from the tub, looked at it, savored it, exclaiming: Ah, this wine is PIPATO by the angels. In the presence of an exceptional year like 2017, it seemed nice to us, as it is necessary to remember this thing, certain that he will appreciate it. To health, Federico!

Cinqueterre Sciacchetrà Riserva
€60.00 – €150.00The Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà is amongst the rarest Italian wines and it is world-famous.

It is obtained by allowing the best grapes of the Cinque Terre area to wither over a long period of time. After fermentation, it is matured and refined in high quality small wooden casks for at least one year. We mature and refine our Sciacchetrà for at least two or three years, depending on the singular characteristics of each harvest. In the local dialect, the word “schiacchetrà” means “press it and forget about it for a long while”. This is the wine for grand occasions, very important festivities and anniversaries.

Climatic conditions can be a problem, particularly sea breezes and gusts of wind. The vine is not allowed to grow much in height and more often than not maintenance is done on the knees. This wine is obtained from a selection of grapes from the vineyards in front of the sea.
“TRAMONTI” Cinqueterre Sciacchetrà Doc

Vermentino Colli di Luni Doc
“SUR LIE” Selezione Liguria di Levante IGT Bianco
€21.00This wine was borne by chance after a strange harvest in San Gimignano in the late 80’s. It has a few gram of sugar left and is maintained in uncooled cement tanks and is only decanted. The wine is not filtered before bottling, but remains in its natural state as it was born. The wine has left a mark, in that kind that people who drunk it can still remember that they did it. In 2011 there was a similar harvest in La Spezia: a beautiful Vermentino, also with considerable residual sugar. This wine was bottled without filtering it, too, but only cleaned by transferring it as did in ancient days. For us “the inventors”, without false modesty, it is an excellent product and we hope you can share this assessment with us. Thanks anyway.
