Who makes the wine at Amietta?
A. Janet Cockbill, Nicholas Clark and their young sons Rory and Liam make the wine from the ground up. With help from friends and family they dug the holes and planted the vines, then fed and nurtured them until they were strong enough to grow intensely flavoured grapes. That’s the way it goes, from planting to growing, right through to pruning, picking, crushing, foot-treading, pressing, fermenting, aging and blending. Finally a mobile bottling truck comes and we bottle on-site at Amietta. It’s a hands-on, hand-made operation that is about as far from the industrial wine factories as it’s possible to be. And you can taste the difference.
