Ansonica IGT Costa Toscana Integrale 2020 Formiche 75 cl

Description

History

The story of this project was born from the dream of four wine friends (Dylan Warren, Simone Salamone, Luigi Scarano, Simone Zemella) to re -evaluate an ancient Tuscan grape variety: the Ansonica. This grape has evolved by hundreds or perhaps thousands of years as a grape variety that loves closeness to the sea and wind; For the four oenologists, the first challenge has been identified the right plot found near Capalbio, in the south of Tuscany. The name Ants derives from the fact that there are some islands off Monte Argentario who have this name and also to testify the well -known laboriousness of this animal which is also a similarity with the teamwork of these professionals.

Production method

The vineyard, planted in 1993 on Pleistocenic red sands and marine deposits, uses the double guyot system with a density of 4500 strains per hectare and a yield of 50 quintals per hectare. The harvest takes place between late August and the third week of September. The vineyard is managed with alternating spontaneous innerplace and copper -based treatments, sulfur and herbal teas. In the cellar, the maceration of the whole bunches lasts about 10 days. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel containers. The wine refines on the fine fucce in used barriques. The different harvests are assembled, refined on the fine and bottled fucce without clarification and with slight filtration.
