This wine, mentioned in 1685 by Francesco Redi in his Bacchus in Tuscany, in which he extolled its qualities, has been revived by us in order to re-evaluate an ancient Valdarno wine-making tradition that, as the notes of the time testify, considered white wine one of the most prestigious productions. The limited production area, the small quantities and the difficulties of vinification of this grape variety contribute to its being considered an ancient and rare wine. The vinification process is special and fully reflects the tradition of the past; the free-run must (for white fermentation) is extracted by soft pressing. The must thus extracted is fermented in steel vats until the sugars are completely transformed. After 8 months of ageing in vats, the wine is ready for bottling.
