€ 234.00
This genuine young wine is produced from old vines that come from a traditional Tuscan field that wasn’t exclusive to vines; these “promiscuous” vineyards were frequently interlaced with olive trees or other cultivars. When other plants were used to assist the vine’s growth, the vines were referred to as “maritate” or wedded. The mixed, red and white grape varietals native to Tuscany grow interwoven with field maples, small trees that have become life-long companions to the vines.
