Avignonesi
Desiderio era un toro che viveva sulla fattoria Le Capezzine di Avignonesi più di cento anni fa. Il più grande toro in Toscana a quel tempo, questo maestoso animale contribuì a definire la razza bovina Chianina, specifica della Bistecca Fiorentina. È stata una scelta naturale dedicare questo Merlot all’amato toro come testimonianza dell’origine dei vini. Questo è Merlot dalla Toscana al suo meglio.
L’iconico toro bianco è oggi un’illustrazione dell’annata che nasconde più di quanto mostra alla prima occhiata. Confrontate le etichette tra loro e noterete alcuni indizi sul clima. Guardate il cielo e capirete se era freddo, caldo o equilibrato e potrete decifrare molti altri indizi.

Non sarò mai un produttore di vini bianchi, ma la ricerca in viticoltura è la mia passione e memore dei ricordi di mio babbo che mi parlava dei vecchi Trebbiano Rosa presenti a San Miniato, ho cercato, trovato e oggi coltivo, antichi cloni di queste uve con cui produco VEA (C.F. di EVA bianco con attributi)

As I also wrote on the back label of this wine, freely inspired by the great poet Dante Alighieri…really…Galeotta fu la Bolla!In fact, after having resisted for some time the insistence of Alessandra, my wife, who was fascinated by the idea of making a sparkling version of our Syrah, in the end I gave in…and I'm really glad I did.

This wine was born as a challenge, which I hope to be able to consider won: to produce in Cortona, through the white vinification of our Syrah grapes, a great rosé wine, a rosé from Syrah that can be enjoyed not only in spring and summer, but throughout the year, as a valid alternative to white wine, also capable of evolving in the bottle. Balanced, textural and crunchy, taut, juicy and intense, fine and elegant, long… this is how I dreamed of it and this is how those who tasted it describe it. Just the rosé we were hoping to get.

For some years we have wanted to compete with Viognier, the white grape variety that grows in symbiosis with Syrah, brought to the Rhone Valley, they say, from Sicily by the Romans. It was the only possible option consistent with the path we are following, which is based on the assumption that the Cortona area is a Rodanian enclave in Tuscany. Only Viognier, therefore, could complement our Syrah; Viognier is the only "intruder" vine that could be accepted in a monovarietal company like ours.
