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: 92 Points
Savory and nearly salty in style, the 2021 Bianco Giardino del Monte entices with a flinty blend of crushed rocks, sage and spice. Round and supple, it flows across the palate with a pure blend of pit fruits and liquid stone complicated by ginger hints. Long and staining yet still remarkably fresh, the 2021 leaves the palate aching for more as cooling herbal and mineral tones slowly fade.
