classical quirky vino
"Lincontro" is the result of 3 different harvests, with 3 different degrees of ripening: early, mature and slightly overripe. There are also 3 different winemaking styles: direct press, whole bunch, whole grain.
The grapes come from both vineyards (Montegreco and Monteverde).
“For us, the label represents a grape, within which we recognize both the marine and the terrigenous component.” Giulia

"Lintero" is meant to be a direct reference to winemaking: whole bunch fermentation and contact with the skins for about 10 days. Whole bunch but not carbonated, the container never reached saturation of CO2, except for a day or 2 maximum.

The young and extremely talented Giulia Marangon (ex Stefano Amerighi’s assistant), and her partner Rachele Baldini took over 1.5ha of abandoned vineyards on the hills at the border between Tuscany and Liguria. Old terraces -the youngest plots are over 40 years old- co-planted with a myriad of different varietals typical of the area. With not even 3000 bottles in total, the production is minuscule as it is our allocation.
We are talking about amazing wines made by incredible people, and we are extremely proud of representing them in Ireland.
