Lea – Toscano Igt – La Ginestra
Vinification: Canaiolo Nero is crafted through a natural winemaking process that champions minimal intervention. Hand-harvested organic grapes undergo brief maceration before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The wine matures for 12 months in stainless steel and old barrels without fining, filtration, or added sulfites. This method highlights the unique characteristics of the Canaiolo Nero grape and reflects the essence of its Tuscan terroir.
Tasting note: This 100% Canaiolo Nero showcases a deep ruby hue and enticing aromas of blackberry, cherry, and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a rich, velvety texture with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, complemented by forest hints and a touch of Tuscan truffle. With lively acidity and a harmonious balance, it reflects its organic farming and traditional craftsmanship beautifully.
