Piedmont // Italy

Showing a more savoury and spice driven side of Cortese, the grapes are from 60 year old vines sourced from one of the highest hills in Gavi, in the south western part of Piedmont.

Stefano describes this wine as the "mysterious feminine soul", a wine that invites introspection and discovery as it does not reveal all its secrets at the first tasting.

We love this fleshy and textural skinsy white which underwent 3 days of maceration before being aged in large acacia wood barrels. Think golden pears, kumquat, damson plums and a salty bristle.

About the Producer

In 1977 at the tender age of 18, Stefano Bellotti reclaimed the family winery. It was more or less abandoned with less than 1ha of vines in use.

Today Cascina degli Ulivi produces wines from around 24ha of vines that have been worked biodynamically since 1985. The estate has been in the Bellotti family since the 1930’s but Stefano was the one who transformed it into what it is today.

A city boy with no agricultural training or wine making experience, Stefano effectively started with a blank canvas. Through his own empirical observations, he progressively came to eschew chemicals in his vineyards and eventually was heavily influenced by the philosophies of Rudolph Steiner.

This means no machinery is used, the grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes and only indigenous yeasts are used to ferment the wines. The usage of oak is limited to large, successively-used barrels of traditional provenance with some barrels being as large as 4000 liters. Since 2003, Stefano has completely omitted filtration and the addition of sulphites in order to produce the purest expression of his land.
