TASTING NOTES

Named after one of the family's beloved horses, "Zacinta Revi" is primarily Procanico (a local strain of Trebbiano Toscano with pinker skins and lower vigor), with a small proportion of Verdello. An older farmer friend of Maria Sole's encouraged her to work with Procanico, which she planted several years ago using selection massale from a neighbor's vineyards. The Procanico sees two days of maceration, which lends the final wine an understated and elegant sense of grip without taking it into full-on skin-contact-white territory. Aged six months on its fine lees in stainless steel after a natural fermentation without temperature control, the wine is mouthwatering and briskly mineral-driven. -Importer's Notes
