Stoppa is the signature wine of the eponymous winery from Emilia-Romagna (which also produces some of our favorite Gutturnio and Malvasia Frizzante). Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Colli Piacentini (the hills of Piacenza), this wine is an excellent example of what bio-dynamic farming and natural fermentation techniques can bring to a French grape variety. Elena Pantaleoni -- a leading member of the natural wine movement in Italy -- uses aggressive vineyard management and extremely low yields to make this top Italian Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine is made in the vineyard, not the cellar -- so goes the old adage. In this case, Elena's meticulous work in the vineyard shines through her minimalist approach in the cellar. Judicious use of barrique makes for a wine ready to drink now but also a bottling that will age gracefully for 10-15 years.
