LE COSTE DI GRADOLI
Back to Gradoli, one of our favorite places! And it's here that in 2005 Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron started their adventure by purchasing a 4-hectare land abandoned for more than 20 years and called "Le Coste". The two, who later became husband and wife, revive the old vineyards, restore them to new splendor and in just over ten years become one of the most emblematic producers in the panorama of Italian artisan wine.
Today the company boasts almost 15 hectares divided between young vineyards planted over time, others for rent of almost seventy years of age and the historic vineyard that has become the Cru of the company, LE COSTE, as well as centuries-old olive trees and abandoned terraces, become woods.
The vineyards, bordered for the most part by fruit trees, are rigorously composed of local vines and local traditions such as Aleatico, Procanico, Ansonica, Roscetto, Malvasia, Vermentino, Ciliegiolo, Verdello, Colorino, Canaiolo, Grechetto Rosso (and so on and so forth!) raised at different altitudes (450-600 m asl) on the slopes of the Bolsena lake, a fertile, mineral, ferrous and immaculate land.
Biodynamic in the vineyard, zero interventions in the cellar, for wines with a peasant spirit, rustic, deeply territorial and true. Each cuveè tells its own story and you can find them from the freshest with crazy drink to the sharpest and most electric, but all with the mineral and sapid notes of the extraordinary soil of volcanic origin that is Tuscia!
