About Enrico Fossi
Initially Fossi planted Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Nero, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon; a few years later, however, considering the suitable area and considering the good results with the reds, he decided to plant Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Pinot Bianco and Riesling Renano in order to produce white wines for aging. Malbec and Gamay, vines are not widely used in Tuscany although they are suitable for producing quality wine. The vineyards (9 ha) are located in Signa and enjoy a microclimate and soil particularly suited for the production of quality wines. Each variety has particular characteristics that must be carefully considered both during winter pruning and during green pruning. The Green Cover is an eco-compatible technique that allows to reduce the erosion in our hillside vineyards and to obtain an improvement of the soil structure. Thinning, this technique, which is the elimination of some bunches before veraison, allows raising the quality of the grapes to the detriment of quantity. Harvest is the most important (and delicate) moment of the year. The choice of data is crucial and is taken only after several analytical and sensory tests. Alcoholic fermentation never drops below 20 C. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is decanted in oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation takes place. Aging in small wood (24-36 months) leads to an increase in the organoleptic qualities of the wine. After having been from 24 to 36 months in barrique, the wine is finally bottled.
