A huge blend of local varietals which have had just a touch of skin contact. Pouring a hazy shade of gold in the glass, expect notes of stone fruits, almonds, jasmine and chalky minerals. Refreshingly salty on the palate with a satisfying herbal finish. Vino da tavola of the highest order!

Made with a blend of local grapes including Pignoletto, Albana, Montuni, Trebbiano Modenese, Trebbiano Romagnolo and Moscato from old vines planted over limestone, over 400 metres above sea level. A third of the grapes were fermented on the skins for four days, whilst the rest were pressed directly to concrete, where the wine rested until the following spring.

Samodia is the new project of Jacopo Stigliano and friend Flavio Restani. In an effort to revive and conserve ancient vines and traditional natural winemaking methods in the region, the duo are producing a series of table wines.

These are borne from 3 hectares of beautiful old vineyards planted on limestone in the highest hills of Valsamoggia. The wines are textured, layered and rugged and channel the land from which they come. Great value to be found here.
