Full of tart, summery fruit and pretty aromatics, a wine that shows all of the potential for a grape like Aleatico when transplanted from its home on the shores of Lazio’s Lago di Bolsena to the warmer, sunnier climes of Puglia.

The kaleidoscopic assortment of wines she produces have become firm fixtures on our table to enjoy on the long days of summer.
