A blend of Sangiovese and the red-fleshed Alicante Bouschet that is, rather weirdly, quite widely planted in this part of Tuscany. Fermented and aged in open-top oak vats to lend just a touch of now perfectly integrated woodsy character to this otherwise joyously fruit-focussed wine.
Perched in the maritime hills of the Maremma, just above the Tuscan coast, Massa Vecchia is an estate exploring the very outermost reaches of what’s possible with the region’s indigenous grapes. With white grapes almost always undergoing maceration and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea, these are wines of wildly vibrant fruit framed by an unmistakable, hallmark salinity.
