Torre alle Tolfe Rosato Lunella
Rosato Lunella
100% Sangiovese
Salmon pink. A note of Campari and sweet strawberry fruit on the nose and with daring high volatile acidity. Animating orange and sweet strawberry palate with a hint of iron and with a velvety texture. Long and complex and definitely walking a fine line.

One third fermented in tonneaux, two thirds in stainless steel, without temperature control. Spontaneous alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation.

Torre alle Tolfe Canaiolo
Canaiolo Rosso Toscano IGT
100% Canaiolo
Focused, fragrant and refreshing, the Canaiolo is vibrant in colour - a vivid ruby, and in primary red fruit and floral aromas. Red cherry, cranberry and rose aromas translate directly on to the palate. In the mouth the wine feels lithe, lighter in tannins and body than the Sangiovese, less broad yet equally refined and superbly drinkable.
