Vintage Details

The 2021 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with warm but ventilated days and cool nights. This temperature range favored the slow and complete ripening of the Sangiovese grapes, giving this Toscana Rosso a compact structure and intense fruity aromas. The harvest was carried out manually, with a careful selection of the healthiest and ripest bunches.

Winemaking and Aging

The Governo all’Uso Toscano is an ancient technique that gives wines greater softness and aromatic complexity. In this version, a portion of the grapes is fermented in steel tanks, while another is left to appassire (i.e., slightly dehydrate to concentrate sugars and aromas). Subsequently, the dried grapes are added to the already fermented wine, triggering a second natural fermentation that enriches the wine with aromas and structure.

After fermentation, the wine ages for a few months in steel to preserve its fragrance and freshness, before further aging in the bottle to round out its flavor profile.
