Spicy bouquet, very pleasant and light in the mouth.

Area of Production:

Located in central Italy along the Tyrrhenian coast, Tuscany is home to some of the world's most notable wine regions. Toscana IGT is the most famous – and the most commonly used – of Italy's Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) titles. The geographical region it indicates is, in short, Tuscany. Toscana IGT wines can be made in any village in any of Tuscany's 10 provinces.

Grapes:

Passito wine is a sweet wine obtained through the vinification of grapes harvested later than in normal harvests. The grapes destined for drying are left on the vine for longer to ensure that the water evaporates and that the concentration of sugars in the grape is greater. The harvest for sweet wines is carried out at the end of October, instead of August-September. Passito IGT Toscana Rosato is made with the blend of red and white grapes grown in Tuscany.
