Wine-making techniques
The Rosso Volpaio red wine is produced exclusively from grapes grown on the same-name estate located on the slopes of Montalbano in the municipality of Vinci. Our vineyards are divided into many plots away from each other, each with its own distinct features; the selected grapes come precisely from all these areas, thereby representing the highest expression of the territory, in a mix of red-berried native varieties which belong exclusively to the terroir where they have always been cultivated in typical Tuscan tradition. The fermentation and maceration were carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of about 10-15 days at a temperature of 28-30°C. The malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and was completed by the year-end. The wine was then racked and placed into concrete tanks where it aged for 6-8 months, after which it was bottled. This was followed by an ageing in the bottle of 4-6 months before being placed on the market.
