Farming method: Biodynamic, the winemakers see Ampeleia as a special place to develop and fulfill the common vision of creating natural wine amidst thriving biodiversity and community.
Tasting notes: An earthy mouthful of tart cherry fruit meant to be enjoyed with friends! From the youngest vineyards closest to the sea, expressing the winemakers’ desire to express the territory in a lighter, more immediate way, without losing any of its character. Also, Ampeleia, from the Greek word Vine, was a personification of the grapevine and lover of Dionysus in Greek and Roman mythology.
