Grape Variety & Terroir: The Toscana Rosso is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes, a varietal renowned for its vibrant acidity and red fruit character. The vineyards are located on gently rolling hills ranging in altitude between 900 and 1,600 feet, with soils consisting mainly of marine sediments, clay, and silt.
