Dinamo Il Picchio Nofrini “Nucleo 1” (1 LITRE)

Gamay del Trasimeno (Umbrian Grenache) and Sangiovese

Organic, minimal intervention, unfiltered, zero sulphur

Umbria, Lago Trasimeno, ITA

Mmm…A Litre of something dark fruited, moody, glamorous. Can you say no? I don’t think so. Sangiovese and a local grape called Gamay del Trasimeno (A variant of Grenache!) locked in a high paced flamenco, dancing fruits and spices and energy everywhere. A wine for the porch, late at night, when the conversation is starting to get really good. Located 500 metres above sea level in Umbria, near the village of Colle Castelluccio, Dinamo is a small family project with a big heart. They work to prioritise the pursuit of sustainable viticulture, an attempt to recreate something of the natural, “more nutritional” wines of Danilo Nofrini’s childhood. “I first made wine with my grandfather 40 years ago,” says Danilo, “My snack was homemade bread dipped in wine. Back then it still had a high daily food value and was an important source of energy for everyone, especially those who had to face heavy days of farm work. I feel inspired to jump back to rediscover my origins thanks to the strength of all that I have built up now in natural wine”.
