Le Miccine is a family owned winery & vineyard that is lead by a dynamic & young team. Winemaker Paula Cook was born in Quebec, Canada, but moved to her grandparent's ancestral home of Tuscany in 2008, buying an estate that had been abandoned during the global financial crisis. She learnt Italian while she revived this vineyard, using only ancient traditional methods to breathe life back into the soil & the vines.
Le Miccine has seven hectares of vineyards that surround the property. Le Miccine follows organic viticultural practices (Certified Organic in 2016), which increase biodiversity & allow the vines to increase their natural defenses against pathogens. The objective is to attain a balance that gives optimum grape quality.
Gran Selezione is a very new quality designation, established in 2014, & this wine is Paula's very first release of this wine. The wine is required to be a riper minimum of 13% alcohol, & the wine must be matured for 30 months before release. Additionally, all the grapes must come from one single vineyard, owned by the winery. This encourages individual terroir expressions, which Paula is extremely passionate about.
Dried herbs, red berries, rustic rhubarb & cedary oak. Intense & concentrated on the palate. Bright red berry fruits, absolutely sea(more...)
