2019 Podere Alberese 'Aprilante'

Grapes: Trebbiano Region: Chianti <Tuscany <Italy Viticulture/ cellar stats: Certified organic farming; tufa and clay soils; whole cluster pressed then fermentation and aging, then malolactic fermentation, in stainless steel; bottled unfined/unfiltered with <25ppm added So2; 11% ABV Winemaker: Lucia and Fabio Bozzano  Podere Alberese is a small family run estate near Siena in southern Tuscan, a gorgeous property with a woman owner/winemaker that also has a chic little agriturismo operation (so you can stay here on your next Tuscany tour!).  Purchased by Lucia Bozzano's family in 1995, the estate was then essentially in ruins.  After studying winemaking in Milan, Lucia returned home to Tuscany to help rehabilitate Podere Alberese into the vibrant farm it is today, filled with fruit trees, olive groves and of course, vines.  Lucia is committed to maintaining traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques because she says her goal is to capture "Tuscan terroir in a bottle"
