WINEMAKER: Antonella Gerosa & Massimo Marchiori
REGION: Catalunya, SP
VARIETY: Ull de Llebre, Sumoll, Bobal

"A blend of Ull de Llebre, Sumoll and some Bobal. De-stemmed, approximately 3-4 days maceration for majority of the grapes. Elevage in barrel 8-10 months for some components as well as tank.
Roses, violets, cola, cool fruits. Depth and generosity moving to plump crunchy dark fruits. A beautiful acid line. Rocky mineral, Mediterranean herbs. Lithe tannins, medium bodied. A wine that enjoys oxygen." - Liz
Hailing from Piemonte, qualified architects Antonella Gerosa & Massimo Marchiori purchased an isolated property in Bonastre in 2001, yearning for a simpler lifestyle, to grow their own produce and reconnect with the land. Surrounded by a protected forest, planted with almond and olive trees, interspersed with rosemary, thyme and Mediterranean scrub, the couple soon discovered an abandoned vine of Sumoll, a forgotten indigenous Catalan varietal.
