2007 Tuscany Organic Vintage



Time seems to pass by so quickly, and thus I would like to give you a quick update on the quality of 2007 vintages from regions whose wine we carry in our range of products.

This was a very consistent year, maybe a bit too dry. Those vines which have been cultivated ecologically for many years, such as those at the Tenuta San Vito, Il Palagio, Buondonno, Casina di Cornia, La Spinosa or Cerreto Libri and Torre alle Tolfe, which are not nourished by mineral fertilizers on the surface of the soil, have deeper roots and thus are able to obtain minerals and sufficient moisture. They do not suffer from “drought stress” if the summer is dry and hot and thus provide the best and most harmoniously ripened grapes, to which no sugar must be added for fermentation. We can look forward to some vigorous, harmonious and natural organic wines from Tuscany.
