"Vero" is how winemaker Peppe Randazzo describes Luca Martini di Cigala of San Giusto a Rentennano. Vero translates from the Italian as any or all of these: authentic, true, unfeigned, genuine, real. He said this was how Luca interacted with the people who worked on the family farm; how he was with all those around him.

This authenticity, I believe, is reflected in the wines of his estate. I love 'em.
