monastero suore cistercensi 2012
famous natural winemaker Giampiero Bea made the acquaintance of the Sisters of the Cistercian order living and working at their monastery in Vitorchiano, just north of Rome in the Lazio district. Here at this quiet convent, eighty nuns of this religious order work vineyards and orchards and gardens organically. Under the guidance of Bea, they produce two wines as honest and sympathetic and gracious as they are. Its intrigue comes from the volcanic soils in the vineyards and the longer than usual contact that the fermenting juice has with the skins ... this being a vinification technique encouraged by Bea. Quantities are limited about 50 cases
