Fattoria di Rignana Bianco Toscana IGT

Fattoria di Rignana Bianco Toscana IGT

Wonderfully white & light like a summer breeze

From 2018 vintage on there is an absolutely new Rignana member : a white wine called "Bianco Toscana"! The very first glance at the bottle and its content promises lightness and freshness. The wine glows almost transparent white. This is all the more astonishing as the Bianco is made from red wine grapes: one hundred percent Sangiovese! A special production process makes it possible. Well chilled in the glass, the nose and palate can enjoy a pleasant fruity freshness, a full range of juicy pears, a hint of flowers and a delicate touch of nut and citrus fruit. The Bianco of Rignana is very adaptable : whether as an "aperitivo" for a pleasant summer evening with friends as well as accompanying a light meal. The best to do is to have always one or two bottles in the fridge as a precaution - friends might come unexpectedly. For a nice summer evening. Or for simply any other occasion to which a Bianco would suit. So actually always...

Fattoria di Rignana: a very special place

You will reach Fattoria di Rignana at the end of a winding gravel road, just a few minutes drive from the centre of Panzano, in the heart of Chianti. The owner Cosimo Gericke and his team have been producing here since the 2014 vintage only organically certified wines exclusively from grapes from their own production. In the hills of Rignana grow mainly the autochthonous leading variety of Tuscany - the Sangiovese grape. Cosimo also has other autochthonous and international varieties such as Canaiolo, Merlot and for a short time now some Cabernet Franc. In addition over 1,000 olive trees belong to the estate - and in between you can see lots of flowers, butterflies, fireflies and crickets, because they also feel like home here thanks to this "organic" concept.

Red, white, rosé - everything is available at Rignana

Rignana produces a wide variety of wines from its perfectly ripened grapes: from Chianti Classico to Chianti Classico Riserva and, since 2013, a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. A recent member of the assortment is the fruity and fresh Rignana Rosato. But also a pure Merlot - a Super Tuscan - with the resounding name "Il Riccio" can be found in the wine assortment. Cosimo Gericke's latest wine creation - "Bianco Toscana" is a white wine made from the red Sangiovese grapes. This product range is rounded off by a strong and spicy extra virgin olive oil.
