Description

This organic wine is mainly made from Sangiovese grapes, with a small amount of Syrah and Merlot added. It is a vibrant organic red blend that is consistently described as an excellent 'entry-level' Super Tuscan.

After manual harvest, the grapes are taken to the winery. They are pressed, and the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for 5 months in concrete tanks and at least 12 months in the bottle.

It has a ruby red colour. On the nose, you can smell ripe red fruits. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with smooth tannins and a slightly mineral finish. It is often described as 'Bold & structured' yet 'juicy'.

Food Pairings

It pairs well with salami, pasta with meat sauce, grilled red meats, and medium-aged cheeses.

Our Producer

La Regola is a multi award-winning organic winery located in Riparbella, on the Tuscan Coast, in the Cecina River valley, just a few miles from the sea. This area has long been ideal for growing grapes, with vineyards, olive trees, and cypress trees creating a classic Tuscan landscape.

Archaeological finds, including remains of an Etruscan settlement from the 7th century BC and many wine amphorae, show that winemaking here has a very long history.

The soil is made of sandy layers rich in fossils, mixed with clay and iron. Along with the vineyards’ south-southeast exposure, this helps the grapes ripen evenly. As a result, the wines are elegant, well-structured, and have a long-lasting flavour.

La Regola was voted 'Winery of the Year', Central Italy for 2026 by WineMag (Italy). This major award recognises the winery for quality, consistency and identity.
