Jacopo Stigliano
The young Jacopo Stigliano represents one of the most interesting emerging winemakers within the artisan wine movement, creator of expressions capable of reflecting his genuine soul. We are in the Bolognese district of Monteveglio, at the foot of the Romagna Apennines, where Jacopo started his viticultural project in 2018 by recovering century-old vines after various experiences in the wine sector in Italy and abroad, alongside renowned artisan producers like Stefano Amerighi and Vittorio Graziano. Some of the plants are married to fruit trees, and the vineyard appears as a beautiful garden rich in biodiversity.
Jacopo Stigliano cultivates a single hectare of vineyard composed of old vines of numerous different grape varieties, both local and not, such as Pignoletto, Albana, Trebbiano Romagnolo, Trebbiano di Spagna, Trebbiano Modenese, Montuni, Verdicchio, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chasselas among the white grapes, and Lambrusco, Negrettino, Barbera, Sangiovese, Uva Tosca, and Marzemino among the red grapes. The plants, located about 250 meters above sea level, were planted even in the the 1920s of the last century. The use of any synthetic chemical products is excluded in the field, and agronomic operations are carried out by hand. The grapes of the countless varieties are harvested all at once, trying to identify the optimal average ripeness, and are then transferred to the winery for joint vinification. Here, fermentations occur thanks to the sole intervention of the naturally occurring yeasts on the grapes and in the winery environment, and as winemaking vessels, cement tanks, terracotta amphorae, and steel tanks are adopted.
Very few bottles are produced annually by the Jacopo Stigliano winery, which consist of two main labels: the ‘Buriana’, an orange wine of vibrant energy, and the Red ‘Hiraeth’, an expression that impresses with its juiciness and pleasant rusticity. In general, these are wines that cannot leave you indifferent, perfect for those seeking a “living” and original drink.
