Winemaker Notes
Produced in Maremma Toscana, from a blend of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo grown on clay and limestone–rich soils at moderate altitude in the rolling hills near Grosseto.
The vineyards are farmed biodynamically with hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in stainless steel, followed by 12 months aging in large neutral oak or cement, and final bottle refinement before release.
Story
Emilio Falcione walks his vineyard at La Busattina the way you’d walk through a chapel—quietly, reading every leaf. He calls the vine a living geometry: each shoot, each leaf, each cluster has a reason to be there, and the job is to preserve that balance, not sculpt it into something fashionable.
Trimming vines like hedges, he says, is “like cutting off an arm because you prefer the shape.” So the work follows season and moon, not trend or schedule. In the glass, that philosophy tastes like calm: fruit that isn’t rushed, tannins that feel woven rather than built, a line of Tuscan herbs and earth that seems to come from the plant’s own memory. It’s not just wine—it’s a record of restraint, and of listening before acting.
