An organic estate located in the highest elevated vineyards in SE Tuscany outside the town of Montepulciano. Granite and limestone soils give this wine the richness and yet still leave the wine with a touch of finesse.

DONNA TOSCANA
. . . . . . . . . . . . >
This was to be called Super Tuscana our tribute to the women in our families -our wives, moms, sisters, grandmothers...as well as the women who have shaken up the wine industry along with every other workplace to make a more positive world. The design was done by a creative female artist in Austin of which we are most proud. That said this is not a wine for sexes but can be enjoyed by anyone who loves a serious, organic Tuscan red but at a value price point.
80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot
Produced with wild indigenous yeasts, minimal filtration and without any clarification this wine has its own identity and to call it a Super Tuscan would be correct but it would also not express it enough.. Donna is grown in soils that are mostly clay with a bit of limestone and are at the highest elevations in the area encompassing the town of Montepulciano in the SE part of Tuscany.
The grapes s are vinified separately after first undergoing a 15 days maceration. Malolactic fermentation is done in large Slavonian oak barrels and then the wine is aged for 12 months and when ready and will spend another 8 months in the bottle before it is released.
The nose is beautiful yet rustic and the flavors of dark cherry, leather and earth make this a spectacular food wine.
Donna is excellent with meats, pasta dishes, pizza and medium aged cheese.
