The wine region of Vino da Tavola
The freest category of Italian wine, with no grape or zone constraint. All styles: bold reds based on Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet, Merlot), atypical blends, maker's cuvées outside DOC rules. Historic cradle of the "Super Tuscans" in the 1960s-80s (Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia) before the creation of IGT in 1992. Today dedicated to everyday wines or winemaker experiments.
The word of the wine: Terroir
Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
