The Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT), the birthplace of this grain of wine is the Tuscan coast. To be precise in Piombino in Val di Corina, Italy. A place in Italy where only the finest vines are harvested and every detail altered can create fireworks of change on the palate. Via Fonte is a beginning, a beginning for an evening, a beginning for a supper, a beginning for life. It is the source of the beginning, as well as the street where we, the Di Sciascio family, began to build a work of unyielding perfection. A street with a story, die Via Fonte.

 

The "via fonte"  is a cuvée made from the grape varieties: Carbenet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot & Syrah. The act behind the complex wine is the cultivation of the grapes, which grow in an east-west direction so as to absorb an enamel of sun ripening. The nature of the soil is clayey, unique, very calcareous and therefore very nutrient-rich for the vines, which is reflected in the bouquet. The beauty, however, is the harvest, which takes place by hand and only in the month of September, when phenolic maturity is reached . Picking by hand gives the grapes a gentle nudge and encourages the minerals within to move. The vinification technique consists of the destemming and a gentle press and very brief press, which allows the maceration to preserve the minerals to later which   takes place at a low temperature,   to ensure the non-plus-ultra.
