Samuele Bonanini is one of the few winemakers who continues to cultivate vines on the steep slopes of the Cinque Terre. Working on small, stone-walled micro-parcels connected by cable systems, he engages in what can truly be called cultural preservation. His "Cinque Terre Bianco" is a brilliant blend of Bosco and Albarola, two classic white varieties of the region. The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates and in some cases transported by sea to the harbor of Riomaggiore. They are gently pressed and undergo spontaneous fermentation. The wine matures for over a year in a combination of acacia barrels and stainless steel tanks.
