2022 Le Coste 'Rosso di Gaetano'

Half Sangiovese, with the rest equal parts Merlot & Syrah; all farmed organically. Vineyards are in Pitigliano and Bomarzo, regions characterized by volcanic soils rich in iron and minerals. Three weeks on skins before being pressed off to vat to rest for six months. Fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero sulphur additions- 0/0! 12% alcohol. This shows off an expressive nose of dark chocolate covered cherries, earth, olive savory spice. Medium bodied, smooth, supple, textured and really pretty, this is one of the most distinctive wines we’ve tried from Lazio.  Pair with pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron tend around 32 acres of vines near Gianmarco’s childhood town of Gradoli in Lazio’s north.
