2024 Fattoria di Petrognano Florentia Toscana Rosso IGT

Emanuele Pellegrini and Monica Rossetti are actively overhauling Fattoria di Petrognano, shifting toward organics and stripping back the winemaking to let their Tuscan vineyards speak for themselves.

Florentia is their everyday tribute to nearby Florence. The grapes are pulled from younger, organically farmed vines rooted in the clay soils of Montelupo Fiorentino, leaning into freshness rather than heavy extraction.

It's a modern blend of 75% Sangiovese backed by Merlot and a splash of Syrah, resting in steel and concrete for six months with zero oak in sight. The result is pure, uncomplicated drinking. Expect classic tart crushed cherry, a grind of black pepper, and a snappy, dry finish. It is exactly the kind of energetic Italian red you want on hand for a Tuesday night pizza, offering serious bang for buck.
