This is a blend of Grignolino, Pinot Nero and two ancient native grapes from this area that Fabrizio is helping to revive- a red grape called Slarina and a white called Baratuciat, which roughly translates to 'Cat's Ball's' because of how the bunches look on the vine (Italian Farmer whimsy wins again). Pinot Nero is harvested on late side of ripeness, Grignolino on early side. Fermented and aged in concrete. This is on the lighter side of medium with racy red fruit and spice, perfect with a chill next to anything grilled.
"For me, the most important thing a young person should do is study, learn, travel, without forgetting where he is from and where his roots are. From there, there are many navigable paths, but if he's fortunate enough not to forget where he came from, I think it's a real advantage that will always serve him." —Fabrizio Iuli
The wines from Iuli are Piedmontese to the core, ultra-reflective of the poor, but limestone-rich soils and northernly climate with cool nights. Each wine has a reason for being; each wine has extreme drinkability without losing seriousness or intrigue. They are concentrated in their fruit, but also have a lightness and florality that feel very "Iuli." In the cellar, Iuli's trajectory over the years has become increasingly non-interventionist. Fermentations are carried out spontaneously, with a little so2 added after malolactic fermentations. The tradition in the area is to use concrete tank and large oak cask. Fabrizio wouldn't dream of deviating from that lineage. He adores, collects, and restores small concrete vessels.
