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

n Italy, the region most closely associated with excellent quality red wines and characterful sparkling wines is Piedmont. This alpine region is located in the north-west of the country, and features beautiful foothills of the impressive mountain range which forms the nearby border between Italy, France and Switzerland. Wineries in Piedmont work with the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive in the warm, dry summers and cooler autumns, as well as the beautifully expressive Moscato grapes which are used for the sparkling Asti wines the region is famed for. For generations, these wineries have perfected the art of aging their red wines, and blending grape varietals to get the most out of each one, leading to a region known all over the world for the exceptional quality of its produce.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
