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.

Emblem of Tuscan red: signature Sangiovese (70% min) with notes of morello cherry, plum, dried herbs, violet and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins, elegant gastronomic profile. Chianti Classico DOCG ("Gallo Nero") between Florence and Siena, more structured and age-worthy. Riserva and Gran Selezione at the top, barrel-aged. A few supporting grapes (Canaiolo, Colorino).
