A “cousin” to Novembre, our Passo Albereto is also a meditation wine, the fruit of two native Tuscan grape varieties: malvasia bianca and trebbiano toscano. The difference between the two is that, for Passo, the grapes are dried and aged in French oak barrels for twelve months as opposed to 14 months for Novembre. The result is another, matchless interpretation of native grapes.

A blend, in equal parts, of white trebbiano toscano and malvasia del Chianti, harvested at the beginning of November, this meditation wine best expresses our philosophy for promoting indigenous grapes. A mild vanilla spiciness and hints of pear and apricot are the aromatic notes typical of these two varietals, along with grace notes of noble rot.

Thanks to its excellent hillside exposure and our outstanding work in the cellar, La Ginestra is truly a great Chianti. Through a second fermentation – carried out by adding previously pressed grapes, we achieve freshness, vivacity and very pleasant sensations on the palate.
