ROSATO LUNELLA’ FRIZZANTE IGT Toscana 2022
€24.00
This sparkling iteration of our Rosato Lunella was created with our villa guests in mind, who frequently requested sparkling wine. Finding few examples produced locally, we set out to create a sparkling wine that would showcase our terroir.
Varietals: 80% Sangiovese 20% Canaiolo.
Vinification: Created by lightly filtering, then re-fermenting a portion of our Rosato Lunella in the spring, using reserved must. Hand-bottled before the second fermentation is finished. 12 months on lees.
Tasting Notes: Coral colored with compact bubbles that elevate aromas of pink grapefruit and blood orange. Bittersweet – like crushing together citrus fruits, raspberries, and cranberries. Dry and refreshingly fruity with the trademark le Tolfe saline minerality.
Try it with: A handful of fat green olives, or any number of antipasti plates.
Description
La Torre alle Tolfe is a diversified farm and azienda comprising 13 hectares of vineyards, 6.5 hectares of olive groves, and 80+ hectares of woodland, arable land, and pastures. Organic since 2004 and recently certified with DIVERSITY ARK, we produce Chianti Colli Senesi, Rosato, and monovarietal bottlings of local Tuscan varieties. Thanks to the sandy, ancient marine soils of the property, the wines exhibit a vibrant acidity, freshness, and minerality, which is supported by a vinification philosophy of spontaneous fermentation, low cellar intervention, and aging primarily in inert vessels. We are proud members of VINNATUR and FIOI (Federazione Italiana Olivicolturi Indipendenti).
