Tradition reinventing itself. Wines for everyone, everyday.

Denomination: IGT Toscana Rosso

Grape varieties: largely Sangiovese, black Malvasia and Colorino.

Number of bottles: 9.000

Area: All the vineyards stand on the same south-, south-eastern facing slope and are surrounded by woods, which shelter them from the main winds. So, Bonsalto’s microclimate is one-of-a-kind, it is quite unique. Soil: clayey, alluvial. The skeleton consists of pebbles and water-polished sandstone. Quite full of macronutrients and poor in nitrogen, alkaline soils are not too fertile, so they provide good water supplies even in the draughty seasons.

Height: 95 to 310 metres above sea level

Harvest: strictly by hand, into boxes

Vinification and maturation: spontaneous fermentation in steel, with no inoculation of selected yeasts. Maturation in steel with small amounts of cocciopesto and used wood. 10 months in bottles.

Distinctive features: a young, cheerful wine, it abides by Tuscan tradition and instantly epitomises the Bonsalto style. Delectable, sharp and fresh, it has heady flavours of spring flowers and just-picked red berries. The mouthfeel is subtle, flavoursome and quite palatable. A wine that can be light-heartedly drunk with friends.
