GIACOMO MARENGO

The farm wines genuineness is guaranteed by the rigorously biological vineyards cultivation (EEC 2078 measure A2).
The firm wines include not only the traditional ones such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano, black Canaiolo and Malvasia (whose original clones belong to us) but also those introduced lately in Tuscany, such as the distinctive red Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and the white Chardonnay and Sauvignon. They are all produced according to Guyot's system.
Grapes are harvested and selected manually. In case of bad vintage, producers go up and down their same vineyards twice or three times, every time searching for the well ripen bunches. The fermentation for the red, white and rosé wines is temperature-controlled so to preserve bouquet and flavours.
Once drawn off and pressed with the pneumatic tool to avoid the extraction of disgusting tannins from nuts, red wines are successively refined in oak tanks and barriques, the most distinctive white wines are refined in barriques, and the regular white and the perfect Sangiovese rosé wines are refined in steel. The bottling is made at the firm.
