About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The production area is Alta Maremma, in the Colline Metallifere. Fruit comes from several parts of the Tua Rita estate. The soils are markedly clay-rich and contain a medium-to-high proportion of stones. Higher plots are more stony, while lower sites contain more silt. Planting density ranges from 6,000 to 8,000 vines per hectare. The vines are trained to spurred cordon and Guyot, and the vineyards are managed under an integrated pest-management regime.

Grapes

Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is conceived as a fresh, approachable expression of the estate’s vineyards.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into 15 kg crates.

Ageing

Maturation takes place in stainless-steel vats.

Technical data

Toscana Rosso IGT. Average production is 80,000 bottles. The available format is 750 ml, packed in cases of 12.

Tasting profile

Freshness and easy drinkability define the intended style.

Serving and pairing
