This is Chiara’s top wine, made in tiny quantities and released on allocation. I could only get my hands on ten cases of this vintage, so we’ve had to restrict it to two bottles per customer.

But if you do get hold of a bottle, you’re in for a treat.

This wine is all about the vineyard. On the surface of it you’ll find Spungone white rock - the land was under the Adriatic Sea 3 million years ago. It left fossils, sand and pieces of coral - this imparts a special minerality in the wine.

Chiara makes the wine in the same way as her Predappio Sangiovese, but leaves the wine in Slovenian oak for two years instead of one.

The nose is beautiful - it’s herbaceous and woody, but with the typical fresh fruit of Sangiovese Piccolo. On the palate it’s rich, generous and elegant.

The vineyard is next to a forest full of fireflies - lucciole means firefly in Italian. It’s the perfect name for such a dazzling wine.

Due to tiny quantities made, there's a limit of one bottle per customer on this wine.

This goes amazingly with red meat, anything with white truffle, and quality aged cheese (like Sogliano cave cheese).
