Biodynamic. 100% Cesanese. A single-vineyard parcel of 75+ year-old Cesanese vines at 350msl. This parcel, ‘Mozzatta,’ is different from all the rest of the La Visciola crus; it has a higher proportion of white clay in the soils that gives even deeper power and more aromatic concentration than in all the other little vineyards. We’ve tasted it with around 8-10 years of age, and it reminds us for all the world of great, mature Vosne-Romanée or Nuits-Saint-Georges. Fermented and aged for at least one year in a mix of concrete tanks and neutral barrels; another year in bottle. Unfined, unfiltered. 1500 btls total. This 2020 represents a back vintage released to us specifically from the winery this year; this wine won’t exist or be offered again. Mozzatta is destined for greatness and should be given another 5-10 years to age, if you can keep from drinking it now.
Clean as a whistle and life-affirming. Believe!
