The Red Wine at Podere del Leone is produced with San Giovese and Cabernet grapes; it is IGT Toscano wine and from ORGANIC CULTIVATION.

We take care of our grapes and vines during the year. In the winter time we prune the plants, we repaire the vineyards, we dig the ground; in the spring time, when everything is blooming, we tie the grape plants (we only use vegetal material to do this: salcio rosso, it grows in the farm as well); in the summer time we spray sometimes the grapes to preserve them and ...finally at the end of September we have the Harvest Time!! It is generally a very joyfull time: a lot of friends working together to collect all the grapes and then a big lunch for the "workers"...
The wine making process starts after the harvest of the grapes. We keep our wine for one year at least before selling it: we think that our wine develops completely and comes to its best taste and quality not before one year. That's why we're now offering the year 2006 production.
