Description
Biodynamic viticulture also means rediscovering traditions, abandoned in favour of more commercial non-native varieties. "Alicante Nero is a representation of this.
Alicante Nero is a native variety of Upper Maremma, which was removed to make space for other varieties with deeper colours and stronger bodies. The team at Ampeleia returned it to its native land in 2003, with the strong belief that this grape variety could be the most genuine and authentic expression of the Mediterranean Maremma, and they were right! It has found its natural habitat in the “La Pieve” vineyards: clay soils mixed with pebbles and conglomerates give a light, delicate and harmonious character.
