'16 File' Cabernet Franc IGT Toscana

The 'File' ('Rows') series arrives after 25 years of observation and experience. These are micro sections of the vineyards, where the plants themselves have behaved differently in their vegetation and the wines have expressed unique characteristics. 30 File 2020, from the lower slope, finds its strength among large limestone rocks and a warmer, south-facing exposure. It shows darker fruit, Mediterranean notes, and layered complexity - a wine of breadth, persistence, and quiet confidence. 16 File 2020 grows on schistous soils, rich in organic matter, where the roots sink deep and the green cover between the rows is lush and fragrant. It is refined and elegant, with red fruit, wild herbs, and a subtle saline lift that keeps the palate vivid and graceful. 400 and 900 bottles produced, respectively.
