Donna Giovanna, Late Harvest 2023
Mother and grandmother Giovanna is adored by the entire Iuzzolini family. The most beautiful white wine is therefore named after her. The Greco Bianco grapes for the Donna Giovanna are late-harvested (vendemmia tardiva), giving them an extra ripe flavor with a lightly pleasant residual sweetness. Light oak aging further enhances the wine's texture, making it very concentrated. The wine boasts beautiful fruit and very delicate acidity.

Tenuta Iuzzolini is the estate of the now very elderly Fortunato Iuzzolini. In the 1970s, he left impoverished Calabria to work in Mercedes factories in Stuttgart. In his spare time, he began importing and distributing dried pasta like Barilla's, and managed to build up a small fortune.
His homeland kept calling, and once he had saved enough, he returned to buy old vineyards in his hometown of Cirò Marina.
His sons and daughters have now joined the company, and in 2005, a beautiful new winery was put into operation. Iuzzolini's wines have been in our assortment for many years, and they continue to show their depth and refinement.
