Bacco in toscana is the youngest expression of red wine from our vineyards. Its sip has the lightheartedness and scents of a walk in the Mediterranean maquis, a stone's throw from the sea.
The name: In the 17th century, Francesco Redi wrote the joking poem Bacchus in Tuscany, a true hymn to Tuscan wine. The poem relates that the God arrives in Tuscany and elects this land as his new home, because the best wines in the world are produced here.
The label: Bacchus is with his wife Ariadne and his playful retinue of satyrs and nymphs. They are singing and dancing the BOMBABABÀ, a Tuscan dance in vogue at the time. Its “explosive” name recalls the same joie de vivre that wine gives us.
We suggest to serve it at 18°C (64°F). Very versatile in food pairing, it goes well with medium-intensity dishes, both with meat or vegetarian ones.Bacco in Toscana is a young red, good now and for around 3-4 years. Best storage is in a dark and fresh place, in a lying down bottle.

VINTAGE 2023: it was distinguished by a cooler and wetter spring than usual, after a fairly water-scarce winter. Thanks to the spring rains, the vines never had any water problems throughout the summer; in fact, they were more lush than usual. The summer season was average, dry and with some extreme heat spikes at the end of July. In August the usual temperature range returned, with hot days and cool nights. The harvest season was marked by very good weather.
FEATURES: It is a very pleasant, balanced and very fresh red wine with fruity and spicy aromas. Then it will evolve further, because an artisanal wine is alive and changing.
