Description

The grapes were hand harvested into small 17kg crates during the second half of September. After careful selection of the bunches, a gentle pressing took place followed by a period of cold-soaking to reduce tannins extraction and enhance freshness. Fermentation then took place in stainless steel tanks at 28-30°C for 5-6 days. After fermentation, the wine was aged in stainless steel tanks for 10 months , followed by a further four months ageing in bottle, prior to release.

Rubio is a brilliant ruby red in colour with purple hues. The intense nose bursts with aromas of cherry, blackcurrant and violet, with subtle notes of spice. On the palate, silky tannins balance beautifully with fruit-driven flavours of cherry and berries, typical of the variety. The finish is long and elegant.

Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
