- In stock, ready to ship
Press 4 Mix/White • March 2024 Direct Press Selection
Joy Kull is located in the northern Lazio region of Italy around Lake Balsena about 10 KM from Tuscany. She focuses on cultivating indigenous varieties, low intervention farming, fermenting with native yeasts, and zero added sulfur.
'Fuori Luogo' translates to “out of place,” and since the Viognier, Vermentino, and Moscato are not indigenous to this area of Lazio or Joy’s home vineyards, the name seemed fitting. The vineyard, located in Farnese, was originally planted about 20 years ago for a cooperative cantina in Pitigliano, but the cooperative stopped paying for the grapes and Joy was able to convince the farmer to keep farming the vineyard just as he was about to rip out the vines and still farms the two hectares for her.
This is an energetic and flavorful bottling with the perfect balance of tension and approachability. Fresh cut spring flowers, stone fruit, and citrus on the nose are echoed on the palate with a bit of salinity to enhance the stone fruit, with a hint of mesquite and slight spice that makes this a great wine to pair with lighter meals or as an aperitif. Serve chilled and with good company for the best results. Jeremy Hernandez
