San Biagio Vecchio
San Biagio Vecchio was established by Don Antonio, the local priest, who was called to be a vigneron in the town of Faenza in Emilia Romagna. Eventually, the Church thought he was spending too much time in the vineyards, and they forced him to sell the property. Andrea Balducci, having dropped out of law school, worked with Don Antonio for one year, learning from his wealth of experience and then purchasing the estate. Meanwhile Andrea met Lucia, who was the sommelier at the next door restaurant. They fell in love and now they are partners raising their family on this 10 hectare estate. They organically farm grapes and heritage grains. The grapes are on sandy soil with fossils, giving the wines an impeccable balance of fruit and minerality. All winemaking occurs with native yeasts, minimal sulfur, in a combination of stainless steel, old barrels, and amphora.
