The wine was fresh and rich, lovely balance, very grown-up and he really didn’t want to tell me what it was. Do you like it? How do you feel about this wine? These are the questions he felt were important, the grape variety is not important, the quality of fruit that the vine can produce on that particular patch of land is crucial.  He also gives little weight to the vintage, the question was, how is the wine?

It rests at 350m and faces south-southwest. The vines were planted in 2008 and 2010 but, what sets this wine apart is the rock it is on. Laure is right on top of the old sulphur mine and the soils are unusually rich in sulphur. Ferrante thinks of this wine as ‘the academic’, it is measured and precise.\u003cbr\u003eThe vines are harvested by hand unusually late (in the modern era) towards the end of October, making these amongst the last white grapes to be picked in Italy. The crop is de-stemmed before a gentle pressing, only the free-run juice is used and fermented with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The wine remains on the lees for 9 months, during this period the wine goes through a malolactic conversion. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling, it is then stored in underground cellars for at least a year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bat-wine","offers":[{"title":"2022 \/ 75cl","offer_id":55102846992770,"sku":"IWC304B22L704","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"HIDE2023 \/ 75cl","offer_id":56648089960834,"sku":"IWC304B23L706","price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2022 \/ 6 bottles","offer_id":56668759392642,"sku":"IWC304C22L704","price":142.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/1228\/5807\/files\/Cantine-di-Marzo-Greco-di-Tufo-Riserva-DOCG-Vigna-Laure-2022-imported-by-Bat-and-Bottle.jpg?v=1780587252"},{"product_id":"caves-de-donnas-valle-daoste-donnas","title":"Caves de Donnas.

Generally Sagrantino has a well-earned reputation for producing huge, tannic monsters, but I suspect Sagrantino is not the monster, rather it was the market in the 1990’s that accepted (nay, demanded) this style of wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoccafiore do not own a cellar or vineyard in Montefalco, they must rent both. It is a complicated project and they manage just 2 hectares of vines that were planted in 1992 on a southwest-facing slope, where the topsoils are a sparse white clay just covering limestone. The vines are Cordon trained at a density of 5500 vines per hectare, the yield is tiny with each vine providing under 1kg of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy behind this wine is all about finding the elegant side of Sagrantino. The grapes are picked by hand and de-stemmed before an extended 10 day maceration on the skins. The fermentation uses natural yeasts and takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The wine is then matured for 30 months in a single ‘botti’ (5000 litre barrel) made from Slavonian oak. The result is a genuinely fine wine that could almost be enjoyed without food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bat-wine","offers":[{"title":"2019 \/ 75cl","offer_id":54993445126530,"sku":"IRU037B19L710","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2019 \/ 6 bottles","offer_id":55169678180738,"sku":"IRU037C19L710","price":176.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/1228\/5807\/files\/Roccafiore-Montefalco-Sagrantino-2016.jpg?v=1686598993"},{"product_id":"the-true-adventurer","title":"The True Adventurer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a delightful case to amuse and confuse, the unifying strands are quality and individualism.
