Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow on slopes 300–350 m above sea level, on mixed soils in vineyards extending across the provinces of Florence and Siena.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, with attention to the balance between acidity and sweetness, and gently pressed. The must ferments in neutral vessels at approximately 15 °C using added yeasts selected to intensify the grape’s varietal aromas.
Ageing
The wine spends a short period on its lees in stainless-steel tanks.
Tasting profile
Light, fruity and refreshing.
Label / history
The Conti Serristori name derives from an ancient Florentine family of noble origin. The family’s wine production began in the fifteenth century, when Antonio Serristori, a senator of the Republic of Florence, married the heiress of Niccolò Machiavelli and received a farm with vineyards and olive groves in Sant’Andrea in Percussina as her dowry. Four generations of the Serristori family experimented in the estate’s vineyards and cellars in developing this wine.
