Terre Tollesi (Tullum) DOCG

Italy's smallest DOCG by area, covering a single village where the Cantina Tollo cooperative dominates. Feudo Antico, the cooperative's estate label, makes nearly all of what is bottled. The Pecorino is the most interesting wine: lemon peel, sage, white flowers, a saline bite and firm acid. The Rosso is a ripe, glossy Montepulciano with black plum, cocoa and moderate tannin.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Terre Tollesi (Tullum), import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
