This small  project, helmed by Elisa Cortese and Giovanni Adua, is located 550 meters up at the intersection of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio, adjacent to natural wine hotbed Lago di Bolsena. Soils are volcanic, farming is organic with a focus on biodiversity, and while they’re a young couple in the early stages of their lives as farmers and vignerons, we could not be more excited to share their wines with you and we can’t wait to see how they progress as they expand!

From SelectioNaturel:In 2017, the duo acquired a small farm perched on the hills above Castel Giorgio. They undertook the restoration of two hectares of old "maritata" vines (trained on trees), along with four hectares of forest and various farm buildings. They supplemented their vineyard by leasing additional nearby plots. The vineyard's old vines were planted in 1950 (a co-planting of the majority of varieties they work with), and interspersed with Procanico vines from 1970. The property is further adorned with hazelnut, apple, and cherry trees, adding to its biodiversity.
