Le Calcinaie
Toscana Rosso Teodoro
Simone calls Teodoro ‘A whim of mine’, to create a red wine with character using 'foreign' varieties planted in his territory. The name of the wine is in honor of his great-grandfather Teodoro who was a ‘mastro bottaio’ (master cooper craftsman). The grapes used are Sangiovese, Merlot and, in small doses, Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine rests in the casks for 24 months, then another year of aging in the bottle before the release on the market. Its soil originates from the bottom of a lake with a southwest exposure at 250 MASL on the Santa Lucia hill.
