Orvieto / Umbria // Italy

This 100% Sangiovese red is prettier and more elegant than you might expect. Grown on soils of volcanic ash and sandy loam, the minerality and saline notes make this big heavy hitting, flavourful varietal more round and delicate.

About the Producer

Ajola is a small farm made up of vines and olive groves situated in the rolling hills between Orvieto and Bolsena, at the crossroads of Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany.

Jacopo Battista and Patricia Nelson farm five and a half hectares of vines up to seventy five years old planted over sandy loam of volcanic origin. Having worked for many years for Gianmarco and Clementine of Le Coste and Antonio and Daniela of Cantina Giardino respectively, Jacopo and Patricia started Ajola in 2012 guided by both a respect for the way the land was tended by the contadini of old and a desire to contribute to a new community of regenerative farming in the area.

Their charming, rustic and easily drinkable wines are the result of experimentation with the varieties traditionally grown in their area which are mainly Trebbiano Toscano, Verdello, Malvasia Toscana, Sangiovese and Aleatico.

In recent times, they gravitated towards field blends, trusting nature to find harmony. Pure, nourishing and very much alive, their wines make for compelling drinking.
