Made from organically grown grapes and crafted with low-intervention techniques, these are honest, fresh, and versatile wines\u2014ideal from aperitivo through to the entire meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Natural Ros\u00e9: No Added Sulfites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Ros\u00e9 IGT Toscana is a natural wine, made without added sulfites and without chemical substances in the vineyard or cellar. Fermentation is spontaneous, driven by native yeasts found on the grape skins, and every step of the process is designed to preserve the fruit\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the vineyard, we practice certified organic farming, using methods inspired by biodynamics: no pesticides or herbicides, but instead natural cover crops, compost, and techniques that support biodiversity. Our soils\u2014stony, calcareous-marl formations from the Pliocene epoch\u2014give the wine structure and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is a vibrant, savory ros\u00e9 that stays true to its terroir. Made with hand-harvested Grenache, Ciliegiolo, and Syrah grapes picked between mid-September and mid-October, the must is gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-7283382-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ros\u00e9 IGT Toscana: The Fresh Taste of Summer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pale cherry-pink in color, our Ros\u00e9 IGT Toscana offers a bright, vinous aroma, layered with notes of wild strawberries, rose petals, and citrus zest. On the palate, it\u2019s fruit-forward and thirst-quenching, with a crisp acidity and a dry, savory finish that lingers pleasantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pairing is effortless: from classic Tuscan appetizers (salumi, pecorino cheese, crostini) to light pasta dishes and main courses with white meats or seafood. It also shines with Margherita pizza or a range of soft and aged cheeses. But perhaps its greatest strength lies in its drinkability\u2014a perfect glass for summer garden parties, terrace dinners, or simply a moment of end-of-day relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ros\u00e9 Brut: Sparkling in Pink<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For festive occasions or a stylish brunch, our Ros\u00e9 Brut offers an effervescent alternative that brings together freshness and elegance. It\u2019s also made from hand-harvested Grenache and Syrah grapes, picked during the first week of September. The grapes are gently pressed with no maceration, allowing the fruit\u2019s delicate character to shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermentation takes place at 14\u00b0C, and the second fermentation (prise de mousse) follows the Charmat Method. Regular b\u00e2tonnage adds complexity, while the final bottle aging enhances balance and smoothness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the glass, it\u2019s a brilliant pink with a fine, persistent perlage. Aromas of flowers and bitter almond stand out on the nose, while the palate is dry, savory, and energized by a vibrant acidity that makes every sip a pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect as an aperitif\u2014especially with bruschetta, raw fish, sushi, or grilled vegetables\u2014it also holds its own throughout a full meal. Try it with eggs, cured meats, smoked salmon, or fried dishes. Its lively acidity is the perfect companion for richer, more structured plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-2048x1360.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.fattoriasanmichele.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pexels-photo-6236629-600x398.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Toast to Summer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tuscany, wine is part of daily life\u2014but also a bridge between seasons and generations.
