WINE CLUB SELECTION

LUCA AND MATIAS STARTED I CANGIANTI IN 2019 AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF WORKING WITH WINE IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES(PRODUCTION, TASTING, MARKETING) COMBINED WITH STRONG BONDS TO FAMILY AND NATURE AS WELL AS A COMMITMENT TO MAKING NATURAL WINES. THE VINEYARDS ARE IN THE MONTEPULCIANO REGION OF TUSCANY WHILE THE CELLAR IS NEARBY IN UMBRIA. THEY WORK IN HARMONY WITH ONE ANOTHER AS WELL AS NATURE, WITH GOAL OF HAVING THIS EXPRESSED IN THE BOTTLE.

from a 1 hectare plot of old vines of this obscure varietal (yes, italy has thousands of these). 35-40 year old vines. 200-250m elevation. soil is TUFACEOUS sandy

winemakers, making their first vintage in 2019 literally in their garage (which is in Perugia, Umbria). They had been searching for years for the right plot, and finally came across one with abandoned old vines of hyper local grapes on sandy soils, located on the outskirts of Perugia on the Tuscan/Umbrian border, but technically Tuscany. Using no additives and only SS, the brothers started with 5 wines for their first vintage, including this super cool orange wine made of San Colombano (we'd never heard of it either!)

We rarely find wild wines like this in Tuscany, but here you have it, a Tuscan orange with an Umbrian soul. Made of San Colombano grapes (an indigenous varietal) that weren’t harvested until late October (a late pick date compared to most white grapes). But this is no over-ripe fruit bomb – that skin-contact lends a light tannin and chewy texture that balances the fruit so perfectly.

deeply layered and unique orange wine from the stoppini brothers, aromatic with apricot, rock salt, lemon zest, soft tannins, medium bodied.
