Af druen "foglia tonda" (rundt blad). Alkoholsstyrke 13%. ufiltreret.
"Kære Carlo!
Med noget besvær fik jeg åbnet en Foglia Tonda '14 - det kan godt være den lukning er miljøvenlig, men den kræver mere tilvænning end smagen!
Jeg endte med at skrue proptrækkeren ned gennem laget, og det virkede fint.
Hvis jeg kan sammenligne en af dine sædvanlige vine med ouverturen til "Skæbnens Magt", er denne her forspillet til "Aida".
Den er lavmælt, men gør et stort indtryk, der bliver hængende meget, meget længe.
Der er en modsætning mellem sødme og bitterhed, som jeg personligt vældig godt kan lide, medens jeg smager meget lidt syre (som i "sur").
Til gengæld mærker jeg ret megen garvesyre, fordi vinen virker udtørrende i munden.
Den er meget, meget ren, meget elegant, og har noter af kirsebær - hvilket er den smag, der for mig overordnet karakteriserer italiensk vin.
Jeg synes den høje pris er i orden - og glæder mig til at få de sidste seks flasker i hus - jvf. en tidligere mail!"

The Foglia Tonda of Toscana Rosso IGT “Foglia Tonda” are grown at an altitude of 300 m on alberese soil. The harvest begins with manual weeding, the elimination of too many buds and the shredding of the grass (the vines are grassed). The vineyard is completely hand-worked without the use of tractors and has a density of 10,000 plants per hectare. A selection in the vineyard is made in August and September with hand picking using the traditional bigonce. The bunches are pressed by hand and then fermented with all the stems for about 20 days, the must is then passed through a fabric to filter it. At the end of the fermentation the Toscana Rosso IGT “Foglia Tonda” Podere Gualandi is transferred to the barriques for about 24 months and then bottled. The barrels and barriques are rolled continuously to keep the dregs in motion. No machinery is used in the process, everything is rigorously done by hand, including bottling.
NOTES: wine included in the “Interpretations” project.
“From the passion for history and archeology arises the desire to produce wine inspired not only by modern enological knowledge, but also by many of the winemaking techniques present in the ancient Tuscan tradition. The soils are composed as follows: Pleistocene and alberese clay-sandy. In the vineyard each plant produces a maximum of 900 grams and the vines are kept together with the alberello method, low spurred cordon or guyot for the old vines. For one hectare, the overall average yield does not exceed 60 quintals. of the vine they are hand-hooped and the plants are treated with Bordeaux mixture.The wine is made using the same traditional methods used in the past in large parts of Tuscany.For this reason, inside the cellars, modern technologies are almost completely banned and the materials used are the same as those that were used fifty or a hundred years ago.The fermentation of the must takes place in open truncated cones or in Italian Slavonian oak barrels. ” GUIDO GUALANDI
