Description
History
The Poggio Torselli estate, on the Chianti hills, has roots in the Florentine Renaissance. Mentioned in 1427, it passed between rich Tuscan families, from the Angiolini to the Antinori. Overlooking Florence and Brunelleschi’s Dome, the estate is a landscape jewel of vineyards and olive groves. After conservative restorations from 1999 to 2005, in 2002 the Villa, the Italian Garden and the park returned to their ancient splendor. In 2003, the new winery was completed for the revival of wine production. Today the property belongs to the Cusano family, an Italian-Canadian family who started an innovation project focusing everything on wine quality thanks also to the oenological consultancy of Carlo Ferrini.

Tasting notes
Cherry pink color. The nose opens with lively notes of strawberry and cherry, with the freshness of the fruit that persists, accompanied by delicate floral hints. In the mouth, it stands out for a pleasant acidity and an underlined minerality, reflecting its natural production process. Finesse and elegance emerge in a clean and persistent finish. A natural rosé that enchants with its complexity and respect for the terroir.
Possible combinations
Excellent as an aperitif or paired with platters of cold cuts and cheeses, even slightly fatty first courses.
