Winery: Azienda Agricola Le Coste 

Le Coste is located in Gradoli, in the province of Viterbo, near the Bolsena lake on the border between Lazio and Umbria. Area of ​​Etruscan origin with beautiful landscapes such as the Valle dei Calanchi on the slopes of Civita di Bagnoregio. Here the soils are of volcanic origin rich in iron and minerals that make the wines scented. Le Coste was born in February 2004 with the purchase by Gianmarco and Clementine, the owners, of three hectares of abandoned land known as "Le Coste". The aim was to produce products deriving from organic farming in synergy with nature and the surrounding landscape. Today Le Coste covers an area of ​​about 14 hectares, of which three of vines planted by Gianmarco and Clementine, four of old vines for rent, four of olive trees and three of woods, where we find shrubs of Mediterranean scrub, wild chestnut trees, oaks secular and elm. Gianmarco and Clementine apply the principles of biodynamics to their plants. In the cellar they do not use interventions aimed at changing the quality of the grapes so that their wines are represented in the vintage.
