Le Fiore

Toscana Bianco IGT

Description

The name recalls the “shop” of the town which sold food and especially alcohol. In fact, the success that the famous shop had was born from the excellent and constant quality of the wine they managed to offer.

Production

This Orange wine is a wine fermented in open oak vats, produced through contact with the skins. An ancient winemaking technique is thus reintroduced, a different way from that in which white wines are usually produced today and which follows a parallel protocol to the red winemaking.

The contact time of the must with the skins is established through tasting, consequently it can vary based on the evaluations of the cellar employee. This choice was made to bring authentic and uncommon flavours back into the mouth, a proposal that arouses curiosity and provocation even for the most refined palates, expressions that were always well expressed by the wines sold by the historic store.
