'Kepos di Ampeleia- THE LAST DANCE' IGT Toscana

2020
Italy
Tuscany

Kepos is Greek, meaning a mixed garden.  50% Alicante Nero (aka Grenache), 30% Mourvedre, 20% Carignano—   sourced in the vineyards closest to the sea, in Ampeleia di Sotto, where the Mediterranean scrub dominates the landscape and permeates the air with its fragrances. The parcels are at 200-350 meters above sea level, so slightly higher than the parcels for Unlitro, harvested a touch later and at lower yields.  The varieties are co-harvest and co-fermented.  We call this the "grown-up Unlitro, as it has longer aging and a later release date.

"Fragrant nose of violets, orange zest, raspberries, green peppercorns, clay and thyme. Medium-bodied with precise, tight tannins and vibrant acidity. Sleek and fresh, yet surprisingly firm and structured. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered. Better in 2024."

"The 2020 Kepos is a unique blend of Alicante Nero, Mourvedre and Carignane. It offers plenty of dark fruit character intermingled with lavender, rose petal and dried herbs. I find Kepos a bit less distinctive than the other wines in the range, most of which are single-variety wines, but it is nevertheless an engaging and very pretty wine. "
