Organic wine - processing, Torre alle Tolfe, Canaiolo Tuscany IGT

The manual grape harvest is standard in the vineyards of Torre alle Tolfe and a prerequisite for being able to produce true, clean, i.e. pure wines. This method avoids healthy, perfectly ripe grapes from coming into contact with unripe, overripe, rotten or mold-infested grapes, as can be the case with mechanical harvesting. However, this way of working is much more expensive and has an impact not only on the price, but above all on the quality.

The Colorino vines thrive on sandy vineyard soil that is oriented to the southwest. The grapes are fermented in a mash tank with the naturally present yeast for a period of 20 days. The maturation takes place in large oak barrels. The contact area between wood and wine is smaller and less intense than in small barriques. As a result, the aromas of the wine are less woody.
