Girotondo Rosso 2023 - Agricola i Forestieri

Girotondo Rosso - Agricola i Forestieri 

The Girotondo Rosso from Agricola i Forestieri is a wine that expresses with great freshness and liveliness the terroir of the hills on which its grapes grow. The co-fermentation of Sangiovese with other varieties allows for a complex aromatic profile, while whole bunch macerations help preserve the integrity of the fruit and intensify freshness. The use of the "cake" technique represents an innovative and fascinating approach, which alternates whole bunches and pressed grapes, creating stratifications of flavor and aromas. Carbonic maceration, used for 20% of the mass, adds fruity notes and a softness to the tannins, making the wine accessible and pleasant on the palate. The short aging in cement, for two months, allows the wine to develop a certain minerality without the influence of the wood, thus keeping the fresh and fruity characters intact. Girotondo Rosso stands out for its liveliness and élan, making it an ideal companion for light and fresh dishes, but also for moments of conviviality with friends. It is a wine that invites you to taste it in company, reflecting Agricola i Forestieri's philosophy of enhancing the territory and its peculiarities.

Winery: Agricola i Forestieri

Agricola i Forestieri is a fascinating project that combines the experience of two wine enthusiasts who, despite coming from different backgrounds, have found common ground in Tuscany. Dario Marinari, with his solid training in viticulture and winemaking, brought with him knowledge acquired in various wineries, both Italian and French. His experience in biodynamic agriculture and natural winemaking, gained in renowned wineries, is reflected in the production philosophy of Agricola i Forestieri. On the other hand, Ezequiel Allassia, originally from Argentina, has embraced the local culture and traditions of the Tuscan Maremma, becoming an integral part of the territory. His experience as a cellar master at Ampeleia, where he met Dario, provided a solid foundation for creating a project that highlights not only local grape varieties, but also respect for the environment and traditional agricultural practices. Agricola i Forestieri's approach stands out for the valorization of historic vineyards, often overlooked, and for the implementation of traditional cultivation methods. The idea of ​​"promiscuous agriculture" and the co-planting of local varieties reflect a deep connection with the territory and its traditions, allowing the wines to express a unique and authentic identity. The different altitudes of the vineyards help to create wines with remarkable balance and complexity, which tell the story of the place and the people who work there. In summary, Agricola i Forestieri is not just a wine project, but a celebration of local culture, biodiversity and passion for wine, which carries on a centuries-old tradition with an innovative and respectful outlook.
