The hill-top hamlet of Ghizzano lies in the Pisan hills, close to the Tuscan coast. The Venerosi Pesciolini family settled here in the late 14th Century and the estate now encompasses around 350ha with 20ha of vines. Vineyards sit within this gentle landscape at 200m above sea level and are blessed with a mild climate thanks to the maritime influence. Ginevra Pesciolini and her wines continue to gain almost annual Tre Bicchieri awards -her philosophy of ensuring the wines represent their location Ginevra has also been reducing the amount of new oak in her creations. Natural yeasts, pressing under foot and a move to using larger format oak are also integral to the style of the wines.
Elegant, ripe fruit and mineral content has interpreted the characteristics of the soil. 70% Sangiovese & 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. After crushing underfoot the fruit ferments in 3hl wooden vats with wild yeasts before aging for 16 months in 500litre oak. Fruit is certified Biodynamic.
Press: ".... The aroma clearly shows both varieties, with some blackcurrant but also sour dark cherry, as well as something herbal that reminds me of rosemary. Firm grip to the tannins, nicely chewy and destined for the table. You could just about broach this now but there is no hurry and there’s more complexity to come if the 2018 is anything to go by. Concentrated but not heavy and with notable persistence. Sour-fresh finish.” 16.5+ Points, Jancisrobinson.com.
