More informations about the variety Foglia tonda
Structured, elegant reds with a deep ruby hue, firm tannins and a dense palate, with aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), black fruits (blackberry, plum), soft spices and floral notes. Balanced, remarkably fine. Nearly extinct, rediscovered and grown by a handful of Tuscan artisan winemakers for identity wines. Native Italian Tuscan variety whose name evokes the rounded shape of its leaves.
