Vinification: First harvest of just-ripened grapes with 4 days of maceration; second harvest of fully ripe grapes with 45 days of maceration

Aging: in steel

Serving temperature: 12-14° C

Allergens: contiene solfiti

Trebbiano and Malvasia harvested in two stages. With the first harvest, we pick grapes that are just barely ripe and let them macerate for 4 days in concrete vats. The second harvest takes place 10 days later; this time, it is followed by a longer maceration—45 days on the skins. These two batches are then blended and continue their refinement in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

The wine is a sunflower yellow, featuring a fruity bouquet with notes of chamomile. On the palate, it is fresh and enveloping, with pleasant tannins that serve as a reminder of its Tuscan origins.

"The label depicts a swallowtail butterfly (macaone), a tribute to Francesca di Benedetto (Tunia)—oenologist, winegrower, and friend—who taught us how to care for and live in harmony with the plants, the grapes, and the wine."

From the producer

Matrignano

Just outside the city of Arezzo, yet already immersed in the rural landscape of the eastern foothills, the Matrignano winery—now led with great courage and determination by Bianca and Giacomo—has successfully evolved. It has transformed from a family heritage once anchored in traditional practices, such as selling grapes or bulk wine to large-scale bottlers, into a producer that is steadily making its mark on the vast Tuscan artisanal wine scene.

Founded in 1969 and boldly relaunched by the new generation in 2017, the winery has retired industrial protocols in favor of an uncompromising natural philosophy. Here, wine is not "manufactured"; it is accompanied. With six hectares of historic vineyards (some dating back to the 1960s) farmed organically, the family preserves a heritage of indigenous grape varieties—Sangiovese, Colorino, and Canaiolo—that thrive on southwest-facing slopes.

It is a return to roots that feels like the future, where respect for the land is a visceral vocation evident in every vine, every pruning, and the agricultural protocol that we had the pleasure of discovering alongside the team directly in their vineyards.
