This family owned estate in Maremma Toscana began wine production under the leadership of Lorenzo Zonin in 2000. According to the Wine Spectator and
the Wine Advocate, Lorenzo Zonin is making some of the most fascinating wines in Maremma. The property stretches out over 110 acres, 37 acres are planted with vines, 5 acres with olive trees and 50 acres with cereal crops and sunflowers. Amaranto is a shade of red, similar to that of this wine, which takes its name from a scarlet plant that the Ancient Greeks called ‘amarantos’ (‘which doesn’t fade’). It therefore represented all those genuine, sacred and timeless qualities that still permeate land and vines.

Soft pressing and decantation in refrigerated stainless steel tank. Fermentation started with indigenous yeasts (pied de cuve). Fermentation stopped by cooling the tank, bottled without tirage and refermented without disgorging. Maturation occurs over 5 months in stainless steel tank, lees ageing in the bottle.

This wine is ideal with pork loin or shellfish.
