Sogno Demetra

"A red 100% Sangiovese grape made with grapes grown in Montalcino

We usually produce 1.200 bottles per year.

The wine it's fresh, fruity, perfect for aperitifs with Italian cheese and cold cuts but also great with some primi piatti and light meat.
On the label there is Demetra, the ancient Greek's goddess of agriculture from a painting by Rossana Tintori, dated 1984

The name of the wine, Sogno Demetra, means either "the dream of Demetra" but also "dreaming of Demetra".
The vineyard was abandoned, invaded by ivy and vitalba (a strong and invasive vine) and with a lot of failed areas. Slowly we restored it and started to propagate the plants. In 2018 we made our first harvest and made wine with the help of friends.

This is one of the oldest vineyards of Montalcino, planted in 1964-'66, a rare treasure of ancient clones of Sangiovese. We would like to maintain this treasure by grafting the slips on new rootstocks and completing the work of filling the gaps. About 500 plants are missed at the moment.

Half row of the vineyard is planted with white grapes that is fermented together at the old good way with the Sangiovese." - Demetra
