"PAX" Rosso toscano I.G.T. 2021 75 cl 100% Colorino BIO

Podere dell’Anselmo lies amid the splendour of the Chianti countryside, a land long devoted to wines of character. Here wine is made with great passion and with traditional methods that deeply respect the soil and nature, and it is here that "PAX" Rosso toscano I.G.T. is produced. "PAX" Rosso toscano I.G.T. The Forconi family story goes back a long way: they were already working the vineyards of Montespertoli in the early 19th century. Fabrizio carries on this winegrowing tradition, mainly cultivating native grape varieties according to meticulous growing practices. At the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand and also hand-selected. It is a red wine made from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Colorino grapes grown on the Tuscan hills 7 km from Montespertoli and 10 km from San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in vineyards right next to the estate, on east-facing mid-hill slopes with clay and limestone soils.
