Description

This red wine together with the Montecarlo white represent the core of the production of Fattoria del Teso and therefore the trust in the tradition and potentials of this area. Fattoria del Teso produces this wine since 1985 when the DOC was created. We have changed this wine in the years by leaving its traditional roots (grape varieties, classical Tuscan varieties such as Sangiovese combined with international ones) and adapt it to the taste of the current consumer. Today this wine is fresh and exuberant, with clean nose and lively color with a discreet body but very balanced and persistent. This is a good wine for any kind of meal or occasion such as a family party or a dinner based on meet and cheeses.
