The cultivation of the Colorino dates back hundreds of years, and it's believed to have been cultivated since the Middle Ages. The Colorino has played a crucial role in the composition of traditional Chianti blends. Known for its deep color and intense pigmentation, Colorino brings a robust structure and rich coloration to wines, counterbalancing the sometimes high acidity of Sangiovese.

Sangiovese Suite

Sangiovese is the most widely planted grape variety in Tuscany, and one of the most iconic in all of Italy. Its history dates back over 2,000 years, with roots in Roman viticulture and even possible Etruscan cultivation. The name “Sangiovese” is believed to derive from the Latin "sanguis Jovis", meaning “the blood of Jupiter,” reflecting its ancient and revered status.

In the glass, Sangiovese is known for its bright acidity, firm tannins, and moderate to high levels of acidity and alcohol. Its flavor profile often includes red cherry, plum, and dried herbs, with earthy undertones and notes of tomato leaf, leather, and tobacco, especially as it ages. The grape’s relatively thin skin means its color is not deeply pigmented, yet it offers a complex, transparent expression of terroir. In cooler climates or higher elevations, Sangiovese can take on a more floral and mineral-driven character, while warmer areas produce bolder, riper wines.

Sangiovese's significance in Tuscany goes beyond taste—it's central to the region’s cultural and economic identity. As the cornerstone of classic DOCG wines, it has shaped global perceptions of Italian wine. Whether in a rustic trattoria or a world-class wine cellar, Sangiovese remains a proud symbol of Tuscan tradition and innovation.

Malvasia Suite

This suite is dedicated to the history of the fruity and floral Malvasia grape in Tuscany, an ancient journey that traces its roots back to the Mediterranean antiquity. It is believed that this grape was introduced to the region by seafaring traders and since thrived in our region's diverse landscape.

During the Middle Ages, the Malvasia became a sought-after varietal due to its versatility in producing both sweet and fortified wines. Influential Tuscan families, including the Medici, played a pivotal role in cultivating and promoting this unique variety.

Over time, the Malvasia has faced fluctuations in popularity, but a contemporary revival of traditional varietals has seen the Malvasia regain significance in Tuscany's winemaking landscape today. The Malvasia is known for its floral aromatics, citrus notes, and herbal and spice undertones - and stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Tuscan viticulture, contributing to wines that embody the rich history and diverse expressions of this storied grape. 

Vernaccia Suite

This suite is dedicated to history of the Vernaccia grape in Tuscany, steeped in centuries of viticultural tradition and regional significance. Hailing from the medieval town of San Gimignano, Vernaccia became the first Italian wine to receive the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) designation in 1966, recognizing its unique qualities and historical importance.

Cultivated in the sun-kissed hills surrounding San Gimignano, Vernaccia thrived in the region's well-drained soils. Its crisp acidity and distinctive minerality contributed to the creation of dry white wines that garnered praise not only locally but internationally.

Today, the Vernaccia stands as a symbol of Tuscany's winemaking heritage, celebrated for its bright character and the legacy of a grape that has gracefully withstood the test of time. Enjoy the citrus zest, herbal nuances, and floral aromas that the Vernaccia suite's atmosphere has to offer.
