One 750ml bottle (12 bottles make a full case)"Daginestra is [a] single vineyard, this one from the Ginestra area of Vulture. After a few years of vinifying all their vineyards separately, the Piccin’s decided to go forward with making a cru label just for the Ginestra vineyards. Much like with their Maschito site, they found the Ginestra grapes to be expressing an exceptionally clear view of that place. The soil here remains volcanic but is defined by large amounts of calcareous clay. These rich grey clays served as the inspiration for the color of the wine’s label. Exhibiting notes of ripe plum and red berry, violets, leather, and cinnamon." -Oliver McCrum
