Alberese Rosso Toscano IGT Organic

A tribute to the Alberese-type limestone soil that predominates in the Chianti area

A straightforward and easy-drinking red, lively with red fruit and typical Tuscan earthiness.

The Alberese Rosso from Sammontana Farmhouse

Alberese Rosso Toscano IGT pays homage in its name to the calcareous Alberese soil that predominates in the Chianti area, a soil to which Sangiovese is particularly well suited. It's an easy-drinking wine, light in body, and rich in vibrant red fruit notes, enhanced by the typical Tuscan earthiness. Grown organically and biodynamically, it's made from a blend of Sangiovese and Trebbiano Toscano from mature vines, vinified through spontaneous fermentation and a brief maceration on the skins. Bottled without fining or filtration, it's a versatile and immediate red, enjoyable even when served slightly chilled: the ideal everyday companion.
 
 
 

The roots of this Alberese are sunk in the Chianti terroir

Alberese is a marly limestone rock that characterizes the most suitable soils in Chianti, giving wines structure, minerality, and that unmistakable earthy note that has defined the identity of Tuscan Sangiovese for centuries. Dedicating a wine to this soil means celebrating the profound bond between the vine and the land that nourishes it. The tradition of making "easy-drinking" Tuscan reds has its roots in rural culture, where everyday wine accompanied family meals and moments of conviviality. The addition of Trebbiano Toscano to the Sangiovese, following the ancient practice of blending, lightens the body. Fattoria di Sammontana preserves this legacy through its organic and biodynamic practices.
 
 
 

Choosing Alberese Rosso means taking care of yourself

A wine produced organically and biodynamically, without fining or filtration, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic experience. Spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts preserves the original characteristics of the grapes and the integrity of the product. Sangiovese is naturally rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, compounds with recognized antioxidant properties. This red's light body makes it particularly balanced, best enjoyed in moderation as part of the convivial Mediterranean tradition. Choosing a biodynamic wine also means supporting sustainable farming practices that respect the vitality of the soil and the biodiversity of the vineyard.
