ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Monastero Suore Cistercensi di Vitorchiano is a Trappist monastery near Rome, home to around eighty sisters who live according to the Benedictine principle of ora et labora — pray and work. With the guidance of Giampiero Bea, the sisters produce a small range of wines from organically farmed vineyards on volcanic soils. Made with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention, the wines are pure expressions of place, community and tradition.
