“La Furba”
TOSCANA SANGIOVESE I.G.T
La Furba – “The Sly One” – like the fox who stole the Thanksgiving turkey the evening before the celebrations, under the noses of the whole family who were reunited for the occasion! We decided to celebrate this animal by dedicating a wine to it:
an aromatic, fruity Sangiovese, with a determined personality. One to be savored slowly.

Vinification and maturation
It is vinified and refinement in two cocciopesto (https://drunkturtle.it/) and 1 terracotta (https://www.tava.it/it) amphorae , with a small percentage of whole bunches depending on the vintage.
Following its alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts, the wine macerates on the skins for 4 to 6 months inside the amphora.
It is removed from this container it settles and clears naturally by decantation. Bottling takes place within one year from harvest.
The combination of whole bunches and an inert, porous container has given rise – in this original expression of Sangiovese – to an extraordinary purity.
