Cistercian nuns have been organically farming their five hectares of vines in Vitorchiano, Lazio, since the early nineties, but it wasn’t until Giampiero Bea began advising them in the early 2000’s that their wines gained a larger audience. With just 1000 cases for the whole world "The Nun Wine" usually ends up in the hands of those meaningfully seek it. This blend of Trebbiano, Verdicchio, and Malvasia offers a unique and complex aromatic of fennel fronds, chamomile tea, almonds, and tangerine that lead into a full but delicately rendered palate. The acidity has a sort of glow that makes for a fun interplay between volcanic smokey-iron savor and the delicately rendered fruit. Time in the glass or decanter enhance the wine's character.
