About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese is organically grown on vines between 10 and 17 years old.

Vinification

Fermentation occurs spontaneously with natural yeasts, following a traditional approach.

Ageing

The wine ages for 18 months in large German and Austrian oak casks.

Tasting profile

Elegant, supple and lively, with freshness, balance, an expressive character and an appealing structure.

Label / history

“Retromarcia” means “reverse” or “turn back.” The name reflects Monte Bernardi’s return to Tuscany’s native Sangiovese as varieties such as Cabernet and Merlot have become increasingly common in the region.
