Once this task has been completed, the path is simple and it is the one that we have always followed in the production of our wines: working the raw material as little as possible, carefully accompanying the must first and then the wine along their journey, waiting patiently Every year that the journey comes to an end and thus a new Motherchurch year is born". Sangiovese is the undisputed king of the indigenous red grape varieties of Tuscany. A single vine capable of giving wines with a very different character. Sangiovese has great plasticity and adaptability, depending on the cultivation areas. It Is One Of The Great Italian Vines, Capable Of Transmitting Multiple Emotions After Long Refinements. The varietal aromas of Sangiovese are mainly oriented towards red and black fruits, among which black cherries, blackberries and plums stand out, while among the floral aromas, violet is the most characteristic, followed by the olfactory recall of the rose. The origin and provenance of Sangiovese are very difficult to identify, but it is believed that this grape was already Nota more than 2000 years ago and that it was used by the Etruscans for the production of wine. Just Scansano, a village in the Tuscan Maremma where the Terenzi company is located, is one of the places where the greatest evidence of the ancient Etruscan civilization is concentrated.
