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

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.
