La Stoppa, Ageno, Emilia Romagna, Italy

‘Culture is the only good of humanity which divided among all, instead of decreasing, becomes greater’ - These are the words of German Philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer and these are the words that Elena Panaleoni lives and works by. She realises her role as caretaker of the land her vines grow on, she shows the utmost respect while taking a minimalistic approach and in doing so is creating natural boundary breaking wines.
Ageno is a nod to Giancarlo Ageno, the lawyer who purchased the land in the later part of 1800’s.

Ageno wine made with extended skin contact. This is the epitome of orange or amber winemaking. Herbal, honeyed, peaches, pears, sweet apricot. It's amazing!
