Podere della Civettaja

If I had said, a few years ago, that Casentino rhymed with wine, I think everyone would have shrugged. Today, wine really does rhyme: it is Pinot Noir.

Vincenzo Tommasi has like pulling the white rabbit out of the black hat, with a magic that verges, every year, on the incredulity of managing to keep the quality standard of the only wine he produces intact.

We could tell you all about it, we could utter an Apennine elegy in celebration of excellence, but there is only one thing left to say: buy it!
