"Era Ora" Rosso Toscano I.G.T.

The Podere dell'Anselmo lies in the splendour of the Chianti countryside, a land that has always been suited to wines of true character. Here wine is made with great passion and traditional methods that deeply respect the soil and nature, and it is here that "Era Ora" Rosso Toscano I.G.T. is produced. "Era Ora" Rosso Toscano I.G.T. This is a family story, that of the Forconi family, already working in the vineyards of Montespertoli at the beginning of the 19th century. Fabrizio continues their winegrowing tradition, cultivating mainly native grape varieties grown according to scrupulous farming practices. At just the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked and hand-selected. It is a red wine made from Sangiovese and Colorino grapes grown on the Tuscan hills, 7 km from Montespertoli and 10 km from San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the vineyards immediately surrounding the estate. On mid-hill slopes facing east, on clay and limestone soils.
