Terra Bassa "Rosato" Tuscany, Italy 2022

FROM SELECTIONATUREL:

THE WINE: Sangiovese and Merlot with a little Canaiolo. Spontaneous fermentation with 14hrs skin maceration. Aged in stainless steel tanks until the following Spring. No filtering or fining.

THE PRODUCER: A decade ago Anna and Leonardo Gabellini took the plunge, a truly courageous leap of faith and literally bought the farm. At that point this tiny 3 hectare piece of land was owned by a local baker, and in foreclosure, with apartment complex developers laying in wait to pounce. They took a chance to bid on it and change their lives forever, embracing a life lived off the land and one directed towards their local community of Borgo San Lorenzo in the Mugello of northern Tuscany, just north of Florence. Their vision lead to converting their land to a fully biodynamic, regenerative poly-culture farm where they grow vegetables, rare native fruits and grains, raise chickens and sell direct to consumers at their tiny farm stand.
