Fattoria di Rignana Rosato Toscana IGT

The Rosato: a wine to fall in love with

The Rosato of Rignana could have the motto "celebrating life" because it is so fresh, lively and light - a real delight for the palate. Rosato has recently been made from 100 per cent Sangiovese grapes which are early harvested. Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed, then the juice is placed in a stainless steel vat for 30 days, where the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15°C max. The grapes are then pressed and fermented. In the glass, the Rosato captivates with its fruity aroma - depending on the vintage with more or less raspberries, strawberries, cherries or peaches, but without being sweet. Whether as a well chilled aperitif or as a refreshing companion through a warm summer evening - the Rosato of the Fattoria di Rignana is always pleasant in the mouth. This drinking pleasure is also available in a large format since the 2015 vintage - the Rosato can be found in a magnum bottle of 1.5 liter.

The Fattoria di Rignana in Panzano in Chianti

The Fattoria e Villa di Rignana is situated on the outskirts of the village of Panzano,  in the heart of Tuscany, on the road between Florence and Siena. And thus, in the very centre of Chianti Classico, which is the oldest wine-growing region in Italy. Only wines from here may be called Chianti Classico and bear the “Gallo Nero”, i.e. the “black cock”, as a seal of quality. The Fattoria di Rignana produces a wide range of excellent wines: from the Chianti Classico to the Chianti Classico Riserva, and, since 2013, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and the fruity fresh white wine Bianco, made from 100 % Sangiovese. But also a pure Merlot can be found in the wine assortment, a super tuscan with the sounding name "Il Riccio". This product range is rounded off by a strong, spicy olive oil, which is simply part of every typical Italian meal.

Simply Tuscany, simply organic - simply Rignana!

Fattoria di Rignana has been certified organic winery since 2014. Even before sustainable management has been a priority here. Owner Cosimo Gericke attaches great importance to sustainability. Only in this way, Cosimo is convinced, the wines typical for the region - fresh and easily accessible - could be produced in the best quality. The main focus is on the 14 hectares of native Sangiovese grape variety. On the hills of Rignana there are also some other grape varieties: some Canaiolo, some Cabernet Franc which has been used for the Riserva since the vintage 2012, and of course the Merlot vine for the "Il Riccio". In addition, more than 1,000 olive trees belong to the property - and in between lots of butterflies, fireflies and grills, because even they feel the difference of the organic.
