Importer notes: ‘Cisterna Fuori’ means ‘outside cistern’ and is a reference to an ancient water cistern in the middle of this vineyard site. This vineyard has been owned by the Biondi family for many centuries and is also used to grow red grapes. The vines lie on the side of a spent crater, which dates 125 BCE, and is very steep with supporting dry stone terraced walls. This site is in the opposing crater to ‘San Nicolo’, and is essentially across the street.
Despite the closer proximity, the variety in exposure and temperature creates two totally different wines - San Nicolo’s elegance and perfume offers an amazing contrast to Cisterna Fuori’s power and complexity. Ciro and Stef Biondi were married in the very heart of this vineyard in 2004.
