Rosato - Sangiovese igt

The grapes used to produce our rosé come from the freshest areas of our vineyards. After a brief maceration with the skins, the wine matures on the lees throughout the winter. Sangiovese 70%, Canaiolo 20%, Colorino 10%.

Technical Specifications

Ottomani Viticoltori

Ottomani was born in 2006 as a four friends’ project, who decided to start their own venture after graduating in oenology at the University of Florence and following different job experiences in important wineries in the area. Slowly, but steadily, we set up a little farm for the production of our wine and olive oil. Working with autochthonous varieties only and using biological - biodynamics techniques of cultivation and winemaking, we decided, from the beginning, not to use any chemical, preferring to work exclusively with agronomical methods which are sustainable for the environment. The importance that the we give to the manual work in the fields and to the natural oenological techniques, allows the production of wines and extra virgin olive oil of exceptionally high quality, resulting from the combination of modern and traditional techniques.

Toscana

The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
