Terre di Confine Edizione 1-16

The Terre di Confine project

My life on the border between two countries means living in close connection with two realities. I have always begun my days looking out toward Italy, and the curiosity to understand what lies beyond has accompanied me since childhood. I see the border as a source of richness rather than a threat – as an exchange of realities, of lives, and as a source of deep connections. As a winemaker, the border is also an chance: by vinifying grapes from these lands, I can bring together both of my worlds in glass. Different soils, different grapes, each telling a new story. Stories of people, of regions, of borderlands.

Edition 1-16

This first edition from the 2016 vintage is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Valtellina, from a steep vineyard above Villa di Tirano. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, followed by spontaneous fermentation in 1,500-liter stainless steel tanks and extended maceration on the skins. As is typical for this noble grape variety, the wine underwent a gradual and extended aging of three years in barriques. It developed into a long-lived wine with a persistent character and remarkable finesse. Several years of bottle aging have further refined its evolution without diminishing its natural freshness, which still makes it a pleasant companion for relaxed, unpretentious evenings.
