Our Rosato is a fresh drinkable Rosé, more similar to a French wine than a traditional Tuscan Rosato – which are normally darker in colour with heavier structure. We pick the grapes in the last week of August and press them immediately, after which they are cold-fermented for 3 weeks, like one would a white wine. The result is an incredibly fresh and vibrant Rosé, with a great colour, crisp acidity and an aromatic touch.

2022 was a hot vintage, but not excessively dry like 2017. In these situations our Sangiovese vines adjust to the circumstances, slowing their vigour to save energy waiting for rain, which came at the end of August, with a final acceleration to optimal ripeness.
The peak of the August sun did bring occasional burns on the grapes on the end of the rows or places with less foliage protection, which involved picking a small tank of less than perfect grapes, so as not to compromise the final quality of the harvest, and the result are balanced and fruity wines. The Cabernet Sauvignon is maybe the best we have ever made.
After the difficult 2017 and balanced 2018 vintages, 2019 was definitely a step up, though the weather was very similar to 2018. A warm summer freshened by the occasional August thunderstorm, led to a perfect picking season, in which mild days alternated by cool nights gave the extra touches that distinguish an excellent vintage.
The wines are punchy and outspoken, yet balanced, with intensity and concentration balanced by fresh acidity, crunchy fruit and smooth silky tannins. An exceptional vintage and wines that just beg to be drunk.
