POSSA, Cinque terre amphora
POSSA, Cinque terre amphora
The very unique blend of the hyper-local variety Bosco as well as Picabon, Barbarossa, and Rossese Bianco. Grown on steep cliffs at the water's edge. The wine sees 5 days of skin contact and is aged in steel tanks. Vinified and bottled with zero additions, super pure and transparent. This medium/full-bodied white has a gorgeous brightness, unique herbal edge, dense fruit, and a pronounced salinity to reflect its provenance. Truly one-of-a-kind.
Made by Heydi Bonanini, one of only a dozen growers still working the insane slopes of the Cinque Terre and keeping alive a tradition well worth saving. Wines that speak of their sea cliffs origins, of salty winds, of hyper-local grape varieties, and pure clarity. A grower for whom biodiversity is not just an aim but a way of life.
