*Originally Featured In Our Wine Club*

Inspired by their, if not mystical, then certainly cherished experiences of gathering together to share great wines (i.e. Baccanalia), the duo of Sebastian Nasello (historic winemaker at Le Ripi in Montalcino) and Hugo Fabbri have finally found a terroir all their own. The soils are a complex matrix of ancient limestone sediments, volcanic sands, and Flysch, which result in wines that exude the extreme and wild side of Sangiovese. The fruit is exuberant and lusty, synesthetically projecting colors, which are alternatively impressionistic and baroque (as seen on their art labels). They merge fine wine details with drinkability, displaying a deep spicy minerality, skeins of sea salt, and alluring vertical quality to the structure. In short, volcanic mountain Sangiovese that’s made by people that are chasin’, lovin’ and drinkin’ fine natural wines and terroirs from around the world.

Inspired by their, if not mystical, then certainly cherished experiences of gathering together to share great wines (i.e. Baccanalia), the duo of Sebastian Nasello (historic winemaker at Le Ripi in Montalcino) and Hugo Fabbri have finally found a terroir all their own. Coming from decades of experience in the fine wine world of Montalcino, they found it right under their noses, just across the valley on the dormant volcano of Mount Amiata. Their vineyards and garagiste cellar are located on Amiata’s northern slope, in the windy mountain village of Poggioferro (600-800 meters). A place that’s known more for itinerant sheep herders, than vine tenders. The soils are a complex matrix of ancient limestone sediments, volcanic sands, and Flysch. They work with organic certification, and are in conversion to being certified biodynamic on a total of 5.5 hectares of vineyards. The guiding principle of the cellar is to create terroir-driven wines through experimentation.
