Description

An orange wine crafted from Vermentino grapes grown at 200 metres above sea level in the Maremma region.

The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with a maceration period of 2–3 weeks in open chestnut vats, followed by 18 months of ageing in oak barrels and an additional six months in the bottle.

In the glass, it displays a golden hue. The nose is characterised by intense aromas of apricot, tropical fruits, and raisins, complemented by citrus notes, particularly orange.

On the palate, it is fresh and full-bodied, with pronounced tannins that provide structure. The finish is marked by a subtle acidity balanced by warmth and softness, with lingering notes of walnut and dried fruit.

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.
