The Coastal Terroir and Geolocation of the Vineyards

The vineyards are located close to the hills of Bolgheri, nestled on clayey-sandy soils rich in pebbles and minerals. In this area, constant marine breezes and sharp nocturnal temperature excursions help develop intense and clean aromas. The continuous ventilation naturally protects the clusters from moisture, allowing perfectly healthy fruits to be brought into the cellar. This particular coastal ecosystem positions the reference at the pinnacle of regional winemaking, making it an ideal choice for those seeking the best Tuscan wines for collection.

The Blend's Vinification and Cellar Precision

In the cellar, the blend's fermentation takes place in small temperature-controlled tanks to protect the purity of the fruit and isolate the most elegant fractions. This blend is composed of a balanced assembly featuring 70% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a Bordeaux blend of international varieties that has found its maximum expression on the Tuscan coast. The nectar then rests in cement vats and noble wood to achieve a natural colloidal stability, ensuring a perfect expressive balance before final bottling. For your convivial moments, Le Crocine Toscana Rosso wine offers an ideal combination of structure and sappiness.
