Each varietal undergoes separate fermentation in steel tanks to preserve its unique character. The subsequent malolactic fermentation and 10-month aging (partly in reused oak barriques and partly in concrete tanks) create an impeccable balance. The result is a wine that delicately combines soft fruitiness with a refined tannic structure. \n\nWith an IGT Toscana designation, this wine benefits from the region's unique microclimate and soils, combining clay, sand, and volcanic rock to create a distinct personality in every bottle.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nLe Volte delights with its inviting ruby red hue and purple reflections.
