Description

A100% Sangiovese wine from the Maremma region, specifically from the Poggio a' Venti vineyard situated at 500 metres above sea level. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in open oak and chestnut vats, followed by 30 months of ageing in large oak barrels, and an additional six months in the bottle. 

In the glass, it presents a dense ruby red colour. The nose reveals aromas of red fruits, characteristic spices such as pepper, along with floral notes, herbs, and earthy undertones. 

On the palate, it is structured yet highly drinkable, combining the saline qualities of Sangiovese with the Mediterranean intensity of the Tuscan coast.  This wine is produced according to natural methodologies without the use of chemical products, reflecting the winery's commitment to organic and biodynamic practices.

Massa Vecchia

Founded in 1985 by Fabrizio Niccolaini, the estate is now managed by Francesca Sfondrini, who continues the tradition of crafting wines with minimal intervention and a deep respect for nature.
The estate spans about 6 hectares, nestled near the medieval town of Massa Marittima, in the Maremma region. The vineyards are planted with a diverse mix of grape varieties, including Sangiovese, Vermentino, Malvasia Nera, and Alicante, as well as lesser-known local varietals. The soils, rich in minerals and influenced by the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea, contribute to the distinctive character and minerality found in Massa Vecchia’s wines.

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. 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.
