Podere Anima Mundi
Marta Sierota, blonde bob, very light skin and dreamy eyes. A philosopher by profession, a university teacher of this subject that is both untouchable and pragmatic, who decided to become a winemaker, concretely realizing that indissoluble bond that exists between wine and philosophy. She grows up between Poland and France, but in 2008 she moves with her family to Tuscany, to Lari, just a few kilometers from Pisa. She begins a recovery work of those vineyards that surrounded the whole house, with the noble intention of recovering the old vines, along with the most ancient varieties well-rooted in that piece of land. Marta realizes this project inspired by two fundamental choices: to cultivate the vineyard according to the rules of biodynamic agriculture and to produce exclusively monovarietal wines.
Podere Anima Mundi acts as a spokesperson for a middle land, far from the most renowned denominations of Tuscany, halfway between the mountains of the inland and the sea of the coast, between the salty breezes and the microclimate of the hills of Pisa, between the Libeccio and the Tramontana. Here in the small village of Lari, purity is cultivated, far from that frantic chase for blends from international grape varieties. There is no space for Cabernet here, instead, Pugnitello, Foglia Tonda - a rare ancestor of Sangiovese - and Canaiolo are preferred. The grapes are crushed by foot or with an old manual press, left to ferment spontaneously in concrete tanks without any temperature control and resting, in some cases, in exhausted woods. Of the 17 hectares on which the estate extends, only 7 are dedicated to viticulture, with very low yields and a sincere enhancement of the most identity and territorial taste possible.
For Anima Mundi, the targeted and integralist search for purity is an undisputed must that can be found in every wine: initially distant, probably due to the very low use of sulfur, they show nerve and substance, vigor and taste, especially if waited for a while. A concentrate of sky and earth, of theoretical thought and hard work in the vineyard, of philosophy and wine: an authentic concentrate of Marta!
