Stefano has vinified this wine in collaboration with sommelier friends Basile Passe and Yoan Tavares creators and creators of Le Vin des Potes, an organization that has managed to bring together 11 winemakers who all work with the same philosophy based on respect for mother nature, making their grapes in a natural way. The grapes are harvested in two stages at the beginning of October giving two different levels of maturity; after destemming, it is partly left whole grain and partly slightly crushed with the feet and placed by hand in small concrete pits without the use of pumps.

Cellar: Vin Des Potes

Vin des Potes is the story of two wine lovers led by a passion for food and wine and to discover new winemakers. Yoan Tavares started working in a Parisian wine shop and a bistro before becoming a sommelier in the Michelin-starred restaurant La Chassagnette. Basile Passe spent 10 years working as an IT consultant for a Canadian company before a meeting with Stefano Amerighi in Tuscany that changes his life. This prompted him to start a career in the wine sector, and it was while working in the wine bars that he met Yoan and Le Vin des Potes was born. The adventure began not long after this meeting, with the birth of a wine made for La Chassagnette, made from grapes grown by Stephane Gros in Argelliers. One thing led to another and they decided to put together the first Vin des Potes wine, which met such high demand that it quickly led to a second, and now every new vintage brings new wine. Basile and Yoan conceived the name Le Vin des Potes ("wine of the companions") because it captures their ethos of working closely with wine producers. Although each cuvée sees them work with another winemaker, they work only with organic or Demeter certified grapes, producing a wine that reflects the identity of its territory. Vin des Potes is a tribute to the know-how of passionate men and women who dedicate themselves to the splendid vineyards from which these wines come.
