Here is a Tuscan red with a Mediterranean soul, a litre of pure joy.
Ampeleia, based in the coastal hills of Maremma, is the project of Francesco Pascucci, who works according to biodynamic principles with a strong focus on biodiversity and landscape. The vineyards lie between 200 and 600 metres above sea level, influenced by Mediterranean vegetation and cooling sea breezes.
The wine is based on alicante (grenache), complemented by carignan and mourvèdre. Grown organically on sandy soils, the grapes are fermented with native yeasts, given a gentle maceration, and aged for a short time in concrete – a style that emphasises freshness and drinkability.
Unlitro 2023 (Ampeleia)
Pale in colour, it opens with juicy red berries, a touch of wild herbs and a gentle earthy note. Light-bodied, soft and slightly salty – a wine made for long lunches and warm evenings.
