IGT Bizzarria Rosso 2022 Contadino Cusano Poggio Torselli 75 cl

Description

History

The Poggio Torselli estate, on the Chianti hills, has roots in the Florentine Renaissance. Mentioned in 1427, it passed between rich Tuscan families, from the Angiolini to the Antinori. Overlooking Florence and Brunelleschi’s Dome, the estate is a landscape jewel of vineyards and olive groves. After conservative restorations from 1999 to 2005, in 2002 the Villa, the Italian Garden and the park returned to their ancient splendor. In 2003, the new winery was completed for the revival of wine production. Today the property belongs to the Cusano family, an Italian-Canadian family who started an innovation project focusing everything on wine quality thanks also to the oenological consultancy of Carlo Ferrini.
