Astore 2007
|
The Baracchi winery is ideally positioned on the Cortonese hillside
and adjoins the Relais. Riccardo Baracchi strongly desired to continue
the family tradition of growing grapes and producing wine since 1860
giving it now a modern character and great quality with renowned wine
maker, Stefano Chioccioli. Trebbiano are the grapes that give life to
this wine. All operations in the vineyard are carried out by hand with
the utmost attention so that each of the 6,500 vines per hectare will
produce only a few bunches of grapes, each with the full expression of
the plant. A tribute to the land of Cortona and to the joy of drinking
well.
