Producer Profile: The Giardino project was originally funded by the Esso gas station owned and operated by Antonio di Grutolla's brother. It's still an excellent place to get gas if you're in the area.  

Fun facts: The wine comes from a field blend from an old organic vineyard.  Is part of the NA.TU.RE. line launched in 2019.  The grapes macerate for two days before being pressed to co-ferment in old chestnut casks for nine months. Each wine has a 2 letter name: Na for the bianco, Tu for the rosato and Re for the rosso.  Collect them all!
