Unlike the Santuvario Rosso, the Lozio, which is effectively Santuvario's riserva, is not made annually. The 40-plus-year-old vines are grown on sandy basalt and limestone soils on a site overlooking the sanctuary, or convent, for which the winery is named. The farming is organic and the harvest by hand. Only the most perfect bunches go into Lozio (the rest go into the Santuvario red). The fruit is destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Since the Vespolina ripens earlier, it and the Nebbiolo are vinified separately; the Nebbiolo is macerated for about a month. The two wines are then blended and aged in one oak botte for three years, followed by a year in bottle. Sulfur is used very sparingly at harvest, racking and bottling. 600 liters produced in 2017. Lozio is pure Boca fruit but Ivano has opted so far to eschew the appellation, not convinced that it is well-managed enough to be a meaningful indicator of quality; plus, his production scale is so small that it does not make economic sense at this early stage. The name "Lozio" has a double meaning in Italian: it is slang for "lazy' as well as meaning in two words "the uncle", in reference to himself, the proud uncle of a young niece.

Region: Piedmont

The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera – all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
