Description

This is a 'Grand Cru' excellent quality, organic white wine often recognised in Italian wine guides as a top tier white Tuscan red and the 'flagship' wine of the estate.

It is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in coastal vineyards in Riparbella, where the soils are rich in fossil sands and iron minerals. After manual harvest, the wine is fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels and then refined for at least 12 months in the bottle.

It has an intense ruby red colour with violet reflections, with notes of wild berries roasted pepper, coffee and milk chocolate. 

Food Pairings

This wine pairs well with braised red meats & game as well as aged Pecorino Cheese.

La Regola

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.
