Discover the best wines made with Foglia tonda as a single variety or as a blend of Alta Valle della Greve.
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.
Tuscan IGT (1995) from the upper Greve valley south of Florence, at the heart of Chianti Classico. Sangiovese is the signature red — balanced, with vivid notes of black cherry, plum, violet, undergrowth and a spiced-balsamic touch, firm tannins and racy acidity on limestone soils. Native Canaiolo and Colorino as complements. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot for modern, structured Super-Tuscans.
