100% Pecorino. From 2.5 hectares of certified-biodynamic estate vines averaging 20 years old. The bunches are partly destemmed and partly left in whole clusters, macerated for a few hours, pressed in an old-school vertical pressoir and then fermented with native yeasts and no temperature control in concrete tank and oak tonneau. After around 9 months of aging in those vessels, the wine is blended and bottled without fining or filtering or the addition of sulfur (applied in small doses at racking only). "Don Carlino" is named for owner Eloisa De Fermo's great-uncle Carlo, whose passion for French wine led him to purchase French oak barrels and Chardonnay cuttings from Burgundy (planted in 1926) for the family winery. Annual production of 8000 bottles.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
