Foglia Tonda was first mentioned in 1887 in an essay by Count Giuseppe di Rovasenda. The name of this ancient grape variety derives from the circular form of its leaves. In the past it was blended with Sangiovese to which it lent a high degree of finesse. Foglia Tonda produces generous crops, which obliges us to carry out a “green harvest” in which only the smallest bunches are ultimately harvested.
The result is a wine with a deep red color and a varied bouquet, dominated by aromas of spices and Mediterranean scrub. An elegant wine with plenty of character, Foglia Tonda can be paired with Tuscan meat platters, pasta dishes with vegetables, and grilled meats.
