Big kitchen sink of a wine, throw it all together and it somehow is just right. A blend of Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Merlot that was destemmed and spent just a few days on skins. 1L is the perfect amount. Drink it young and think of sunshine and sandstone benches to sit on. Despite the Romans being credited as the ancient leaders in wine consumption, the Italian region of Lazio in which Rome lies doesn't conjure a clear image of vineyards and bottles in the modern eye. Grechetto, Trebbiano and Malvasia reign, and lighter, brighter, accessible wines represent the bulk of production. Enter Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clementine Bouveron. He, a Lazio native and she, a French vigneronne. Clementine and Gianmarco are a power couple in Italy’s natural wine community. She is a fiercely intelligent scientist and takes care of the vines by hand with practices that incorporate biodynamics but are finely attuned for their own and overall plant diversity. Gianmarco is a fiery cellar master with a deeply cynical and black hued sense of humour, shinied by seasons abroad in some of the world's most highly regarded wineries. The pair have worked tirelessly on their stunning fourteen hectares of vines, olive groves and chestnut trees in Gradoli, a small village between Pisa and Rome.
