Gianni Massone
Santa 10, Italy
Inheriting his family’s farmland in 2003, Gianni decided to re-plant the vineyards and re-store the vinification methods of his grandparents - these being natural farming methods. This is not his only job, however, as he continues his day-job as an accountant and works the vines early mornings and nights, resulting in a low-production, but of high quality. The soil of the region, along with the careful methods used by the winemaker, brings acidity, elegance, freshness and vitality to the wines.
