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.

Linfa was born from the desire to explore a different dimension of Syrah, the umpteenth version in which this grape variety can be interpreted and declined, in red vinification (oh yes, because we also vinify it in white... and thus our beloved Rosa del Chestnut and Bolla Galeotta). After Castagno (the iconic wine of our company) and Cuculaia (our cru) which are aged for a long time in our barrique cellar, partly in wooden barrels of different sizes made for us by friendly master coopers, and partly in old barrels cement tanks that have always belonged to our cellar and have been perfectly refurbished through the patient work of invaluable craftsmen, acquiring extraordinary elegance, depth and complexity, and the "Castagnino", raised entirely (for a shorter period) exclusively in cement barrels, for safeguarding its bare, wild and fragrant profile, favoring varietal identity, immediacy and ease of drinking over complexity, I felt the need to discover how my Syrah could express itself by being born and growing in symbiosis with another material that fascinates me , like wood and cement, and which rightfully belongs to the most ancient, and natural, history of wine… and of man.

Discover the best wines of Tuscany: an unforgettable experience!

Tuscany is one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, and for decades its excellent wines have been appreciated worldwide. Tuscan wines offer a range of flavors, from sweet and fruity to robust and intense. Furthermore, this region also boasts a rich traditional culture and a long history of winemaking, making it an ideal destination for tourists seeking an unforgettable food and wine experience.

Why is Tuscany famous for its wine?

Tuscany has a mild climate and rich, fertile soil, making it one of Italy's most suitable regions for wine production. The region is particularly known for its red wines, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. These wines are made from Sangiovese grapes, the most widely grown grape in Tuscany. The region also has a rich tradition of white wines, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Vermentino, and Trebbiano.

How to choose the right Tuscan wine?

When choosing a Tuscan wine, the first thing to consider is your personal taste. If you prefer sweet, fruity wines, a white wine like Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Vermentino is the right choice. If you prefer more robust, structured wines, then a red wine like Chianti or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is better.

Furthermore, it's also important to consider the vintage of the wine you're purchasing. Wine quality depends on the climatic conditions during the period in which the grapes were grown, so before purchasing a bottle, it's a good idea to ask the producer about the vintage.

Where to find Tuscan wines?

Tuscan wines are readily available in supermarkets and specialty shops, but to savor the finest, highest-quality wines, you can also visit a winery. Tuscany boasts numerous wineries that organize guided tours and tastings to showcase their wines. Visiting one is a truly unique experience, as you have the opportunity to learn firsthand how wine is made and taste the different varietals.

What are the most famous wines of Tuscany?

Tuscany's most famous wines are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Chianti is a light and fruity red wine, while Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine with great intensity and structure. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a full-bodied and complex red wine, while Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a dry white wine with fruity and floral notes.

How to pair Tuscan wines?

Tuscan wines are ideal paired with meat, fish, vegetable, or cheese dishes. For example, Chianti pairs excellently with meat dishes such as roasts or braised meats, while Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is perfect with fish dishes such as cod or salmon. Brunello di Montalcino pairs well with vegetable dishes such as soups and broths, while Vernaccia di San Gimignano is ideal with aged cheeses.

How to store Tuscan wines?

Tuscan wines should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light. The ideal storage temperature is between 10 and 14°C. Red wines can be stored for up to 5 years, while white wines should not be stored for more than 2 years. Furthermore, it's important to remember that wines should be stored horizontally, so that the cork is always in contact with the wine.

Tuscan Wine Denomination

Tuscany is one of the most important wine regions in Italy and the world. The region is famous for its fine wines such as Chianti , Brunello di Montalcino , and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. These wines have either a controlled designation of origin (DOC) or a controlled and guaranteed designation of origin (DOCG). In this article, we'll explore the appellations of Tuscan wines and how they're produced.

Introduction to the Wine Denominations of Tuscany

Wine appellations are a classification system that guarantees the quality and geographical origin of Italian wines. There are three levels of appellation: Vino da Tavola, DOC, and DOCG. Table wines have no geographical or grape variety restrictions, while DOC and DOCG wines are produced in specific geographical areas and with specific grapes.

DOC wines of Tuscany

Tuscan DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wines are produced in specific areas of the region and are made with specific grapes. These wines have strict production requirements, such as grape yield, alcohol content, and minimum aging time.

Chianti DOCG

Chianti is one of the best-known and most popular Italian wines, produced primarily in the Chianti region, between the cities of Florence, Siena, and Arezzo. The wine is made primarily from Sangiovese grapes and may also contain other red grapes such as Canaiolo, Colorino, and Merlot. Chianti DOCG is a dry red wine that can be classified by its aging period: Chianti, Chianti Riserva, and Chianti Classico .

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Brunello di Montalcino is a DOCG wine produced in the Montalcino area, in the province of Siena. It is made with Sangiovese grapes, known locally as Brunello. The wine is aged for at least five years and must be produced exclusively with grapes from the Montalcino area.

These wines are often made with international grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, and are aged in French oak barrels.

Tuscany is a world-renowned wine region, and its controlled and guaranteed designations of origin guarantee the quality of its wines. Tuscan DOC and DOCG wines are produced in specific geographical areas and with specific grapes, while Tuscan IGT wines have fewer restrictions in terms of geographical area and grape variety.
