The estate covers 11 hectares near Chiusi, on the border of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. Maria Sole follows the principles of Rudolf Steiner (Biodynamics) and Masanobu Fukuoka (“do-nothing” farming), using biodynamic preparations and avoiding weeding to maintain a balanced, self-sustaining vineyard ecosystem
Grown on sand and clay in vineyards between 17 and 32 years. The grapes are hand harvested and undergo one night of skin contact to extract the perfect amount of flavour. The wine then undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural characteristics of the grapes. After this the wine spends approximately 7 months of aging in a combination of steel and concrete tanks. Maria Sole bottles “Noble Kara” without fining or filtration, and with a minimum of sulphur.

A complex nose showing notes of black cherry, plum, violets, coffee and raisins. The palate is smooth and rounded, with a richly-textured mid-palate and a medley of spice, dried fruit characters and supple tannins. The wine remains elegant, being so beautifully integrated and sweetly rich, but with a long and complex, dry finish.
£15.35
Fruity with hints fo ripe cherry and red fruit on the nose. On the palate this is full-bodied and round with more red fruit and a poised acidity
