Monotype

monotyping is a unique example of printmaking. The origin of the word derives from the Greek monos (one) and typos (image) and indicates that the images created using this technique are unique creations which cannot be reproduced. The process involves applying the paint directly to a surface (glass, plexiglass, metal or card) with oil colours and / or printing ink. A sheet is applied on the painted matrix, after which pressure is applied. The surface can only be used once or maximum two times, before the colour dries. The second application produces a less intense colour than the first. The final result is never identical to the original painting on the surface as an element of unpredictability comes into play.

TECHNIQUE Monotype¹ / Digital

In the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, almost on the border with Tuscany, there is a man who is always on the move from morning to night: he restores old, abandoned vineyards to production, a sort of small agricultural reconquest.

His name is Andrea Peradotto² and together with his brother Martino and his company Azienda Agricola Piandistantino³, he produces high quality wines.

In 2016 thanks to two Sangiovese grapes originating from various, small vineyards in the high Montone valley, the Ridaccio was born. The number of these vines has gradually increased over the past few years, so much so that this wine has become a kind of “travelling” Sangiovese.

Then in 2018, Pian was born, a pure Sangiovese which originates from a single vine situated 500 metres above sea level.

In 2020, to celebrate this difficult year, PianGo! was born, a Chardonnay harvested at 500 metres above sea level in the Forlì Apennines, naturally fermented and without added sulphites.

Alongside the “official labels”, every so often, some limited edition, hand painted labels are created.
