Martissima Description
In addition to having helped with harvest at the family domain, at Venica & Venica, since 2013, she has also worked at wineries “where the picking starts when the home harvest is over,” as she puts it. In 2014, it was Ceretto in Castiglione Falletto; in 2015, it was Dönnhoff in the Nahe, “the most amazing experience to understand what a meticulous selection of the grapes means;” in 2016, at Pierre Peters in the Côte de Blancs “for the real meaning of terroir;” in 2017, with Elisabetta Foradori in Trentino for a high-level introduction to biodynamics.
But in 2018, her life was transformed by a stage at the pioneering Patagonian biodynamic winery, Bodega Chacra. “The energy that allowed me to start my project surely comes from here. On the flight home, I decided I wanted to express my creativity through what I like to do most: being in contact with nature and spending the days in my corner of paradise.”
Vinous: 91 Points
Raw almonds and white flowers give way to freshly sliced pear and chamomile hints as the 2021 Bianco blossoms in the glass. This is silky smooth yet lifted in feel with crunchy mineral tones up front and herbal-tinged orchard fruits that swirl throughout. It finishes wickedly fresh, steely clean and with a lingering tension that keeps the mouth watering for more.
