## Wine making process

The Terreno Rosato di Toscana 2023 is produced using a direct pressing method for the Sangiovese grapes, followed by a short period of skin contact to achieve its light pink color. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, a technique employed to maintain the wine's freshness and primary fruit characteristics. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel. Grapes are hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness to preserve aromas and acidity. The producer, Terreno Società Agricola Srl, emphasizes natural and organic winemaking practices, integrating modern winery techniques with traditional Tuscan winemaking.
