The Fibonacci Sequence introduces this wine that tiptoes in and unexpectedly explodes on the palate.

Its delicacy, which reaches the deepest intimacy, needs our time and attention to envelope us in an initial understanding and transport us to an intense, embracing complicity.

Open the bottle a few hours before tasting it or use a decanter: you will release all the herbaceous, sapid and bright aromas of Albarola, which the long aging in amphora has helped to express.

All the vineyards face the sea, between 400 and 500 meters above sea level, and are cultivated on terraces reclaimed from abandonment using the methods and practices of biodynamic agriculture.

The white 112358 2022 is made with two of the three typical and autochthonous varieties of the Cinque Terre: Vermentino and Albarola. After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified and aged separately in Impruneta terracotta amphorae and the wine is blended only one month before bottling.

The yeasts and bacteria are indigenous and contribute to a spontaneous fermentation that does not use any type of additives during either vinification or aging, with the exception of a minimal addition of sulfur dioxide before bottling to ensure the wine's shelf life during travel and time.

The soils of the Cinque Terre are the result of an ancient dialogue between the earth, the sea and all the forces that inhabit these elements. The vocation of the territory for the cultivation of the vine is well-established, for centuries man has recognized in these soils, rich in trace elements, a unique terroir for wines of great quality.

The terraces are the most important landscape element of this territory that faces completely onto the sea. The soils are mainly formed by sandstone, i.e. compact or stratified sand. These are pedological formations in which the vine roots are destined to go very deep, even for several meters, finding a unique relationship with the elements of the earth. In the long dry summers, the roots find shelter in the deeper, more humid horizons of the soil, while in times of heavy rain, the same soils guarantee a great drainage capacity. The differences between the various individual terraces in terms of limestone, clay content and the depth of the bedrock build up the variability of the terroir of which the vineyard becomes the best interpreter, through the production of expressively polychromatic grapes from a taste and olfactory point of view.
