Orto Di Venezia

A vineyard on the water...  In the 16th century, the Island of San Erasmo, "the garden of Venice", was covered with vineyards. Michel Thoulouze, a former journalist and audiovisual producer, set himself the challenge of reviving the wine of Venice. He took on the advice of Lydia and Claude Bourguignon for the work on the soil and Alain Graillot to obtain a wine that exudes this marine earth. The selection of grape varieties was naturally based on ancient varieties from Northern Italy. The ancestral drainage system has been restored to provide the vines with the fresh water they need.  As the lagoon's ecosystem protects against phylloxera, the vines were planted as free-standing. The wine is therefore more marked by its terroir and particularly the saline side.
