Federico Starderini Sempremai Sorte Sortira Cuna 2017

Description

Arcane, skin and bones like the dog rose or blackthorn, abrostine comes from the domestication of a wild grape: Pliny the Elder's 'labrusca' (N.H. XIV, par. 93) and botany's 'Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris'. Here it is planted on a sunny slope, yet it germinates late and ripens late, as it is serotinous by nature.

From this winery

• Hectares: 4

"In my mature years, I gave shape to the idea of making wine in the green hills of Casentino crowned by the peaks of the Apennines.

The remarkable day/night temperature range of these hills of ours gives finesse and brio to the aromas and the clay-limestone soils with their humours transfer persuasiveness and substance to the grapes.

In the total 4 hectares of vineyards, 44,000 pinot noir and abrostine vines, an ancient Etruscan grape, are planted as thick as peppercorns.

All the grapes are vinified parcel by parcel and each one for itself." (Federico Staderini) Read more
