Tuscan Product

Arturo IGT Rosso Toscano 2016

 

An unforgettable red for special occasions

“...full and enveloping nose with ample aromatic array; immediately red fruits of underbrush, notes of dried fruits such as plums, apricots and figs, to close with notes of chocolate, licorice and smoky hints. The palate is full, enveloping, with a dense, silky tannic texture and a good acid base that confirms the wine's olfactory richness and vitality. An unforgettable Sangiovese...”

Wine and Vintage

"...for the production of Arturo, the best Sangiovese grapes of the estate are harvested in boxes and partly dried in the drying room to enhance the durability and complexity of the wine. The wine then spends two years in the historic cellar to smooth out the youthfulness of the tannins and to enhance the best aromatic background of Sangiovese and our vineyards. Arturo has a very long evolutionary path that can continue for decades in the bottle and embodies the highest expression of the company's reds ..."

Label

The historical label is made up of two squares surmounted by the company logo that recalls the tradition of the Tuscan flask. In the upper purple box stands the inscription Arturo, the lower box is in turn divided into nine parts with the symbols representing our work: the ear of wheat, the vine leaf, the chalice, water, sun, shell, wind, pi and moon.  A white frame on which runs a golden thread surrounds the composition.

The restyling of the label lightens the shapes and colors while maintaining the original elements. The significant white background takes strength and four simple elements stand out on it: the rose window, a symbol of purity and complexity, the wine's proper name with its geographical qualification and the frame of the symbols compressed and defined by a red thread with an upside-down inscription in the style of Leonardo da Vinci. At the base, in gold, the name of our winery.
