Terre di Pisa

A selection from two plots of older Sangiovese vines, fermented in cement tanks then malo in an amphora made from a mixture of powdered marble, terracotta, sand and some cement. 'It interested me because it has a similar porous structure to oak but no flavours are given to the wine,' says Ginevra Venerosi Pesciolini. Just the second vintage of this wine, it's aged for at least 12 months in amphora then 12 months in bottle. Bright, vibrant and balsamic with tangy bramble fruits, earthy notes and subtle grainy tannins, there's ripeness yet no jamminess, and it's cut through by a streak of refreshing salinity. Intense and focused, it's a graceful expression with purity. Still quite tight and closed, give this another year or so before opening. Around 9,000 bottles produced.
