Process & Profile

Yantra Toscana is the result of meticulous craftsmanship in the vineyards of Monteverdi Marittimo, located at an elevation of 400 meters above sea level. The estate, following organic farming practices, nurtures vines on medium-textured soils composed of black slate, granite, and clay, creating an ideal environment for grape cultivation. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation with indigenous yeast in controlled-temperature stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place in French oak barrels (4–6 years old) for six months to enhance complexity, with an additional six months of bottle aging to refine the flavors.

Tasting Notes

Yantra impresses with its vivacious yet balanced profile. The wine pours a youthful magenta hue with a fragrant bouquet of fresh violets, mixed berries, and subtle herbal undertones such as rosemary and sage. On the palate, expect vibrant flavors of red plum, currant, and tangy blueberry, complemented by soft, ripe tannins and a polished mouthfeel. Dusty red earth, leather notes, and a lingering hint of minerality add depth to its long, satisfying finish.
