Continuo - Amphora Wine
Continuo because the grapes grow on the same soil used to make the amphorae in which the wine matures. Twelve months in beeswax-sealed amphora, after two years in tonneau. The result is a wine with a strong character and very distinct minerality.

Cellar Notes
After two years in tonneau, the wine matures for 12 months in a terracotta amphora sealed with beeswax. The clay comes from the same soil as the vineyards, which is where the name Continuo comes from. The sealed amphora allows minimal aromatic exchange and preserves the minerality of the Nebbiolo.
