About This Wine
Millocchio Rosso comes from the old vineyards of Ranchelle – an area named “Millocchio”, because it was full of vineyards in the past. “Millocchio” in Italian means “thousand eyes” referring to the thousands of buds – also called “eyes”- of the vineplants. These old vineyards preserve a rare genetic heritage of traditional Maremman grapes, such as Alicante, Ciliegiolo, Sangiovese, Mammolo, Buonamico, Malvasia Nera, Aleatico.
The grapes are hand harvested and ferment spontaneously for a period of three weeks. After fermentation and pressing the wine age for one year in oak tonneaux, gaining depth, structure and complexity without excessive wood inflence.
The winemaking of Millocchio Rosso follows strictly the philosophy of natural winemaking: No addition of yeasts or SO2 or any other additive. Therefore this wine is fully vegan compatible.
