100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. The soil of Croci's steep, southeast-facing hillside vineyard is mainly a crumbly, sandy, limestone-rich clay full of marine fossils called terre fossili piacenzano; but higher up the hill are parcels with a heavier, iron-rich clay called terra rossa. Here, the vines yield fruit better suited for still wines rather than the frizzanti rifermentati. The farming has been organic for generations, with all vineyard work and harvest into small bins done by hand. The bunches are destemmed and fermented spontaneously without sulfur in cement tank. Maceration lasts about 30 days. The wine is aged on its lees in tank for 10 months and bottled without fining or filtration and with a miniscule dose of sulfur. Very small production.

Region: Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna is one of Italy's best loved wine regions, and this northern region of one of the world's great wine countries has been associated with fine wine making and superb viticulture for an astonishing length of time. Indeed, wine has most probably been made in Emilia-Romagna for almost three thousand years, and as one might imagine, such an ancient and respected wine region remains today deeply traditional and proud, with wineries determined to protect the region's status and reputation as a region of quality and distinction. With twenty-two DOC's, and two DOCG's, Emilia-Romagna is very much a home of quality wines, and there is a fairly even percentage of red wine and white wine grapes being grown in the region's expansive and beautiful vineyards.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
