Malgiacca Rosso 2022 is a refined and singular Tuscan field blend built around Sangiovese, complemented by Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Syrah, and Montepulciano. Drawn from multiple parcels across the estate — including Grifo, Erta, Buca, Renzo, Rugiagli, and Bassani — the wine reflects a mosaic of pre-glacial lake sediments, clay, and alluvial soils that bring both freshness and mineral complexity. The diversity of varieties and vineyard sites allows for tries harvesting, with each component picked individually at optimal maturity to preserve balance, expression, and natural resilience.

Harvested manually in small crates, the grapes are destemmed entirely by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts in Flex tanks, without mechanical extraction. Macerations last between 12 and 20 days, with gentle foot treading used to achieve delicate infusion rather than forceful extraction. Following spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of 228-litre barrels (only 2% new oak) and cement, before an extended additional two years ageing in cement to polish the tannic structure and preserve purity.

The 2022 is pure, saline, and finely detailed, combining aromatic elegance with structural precision. Bright red cherry, crushed raspberry, dried flowers, blood orange, and subtle spice unfold. The palate is delicate, with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and a distinctive saline edge that carries through the long, poised finish. Classy and understated, Malgiacca Rosso expresses both the complexity of the field blend and the transparency of its terroir with remarkable finesse.

Today, Malgiacca farms around 12 hectares across small, scattered parcels in Gragnano. The vineyards are planted as field blends of traditional varieties such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, and Malvasia Nera, alongside smaller amounts of Merlot, Syrah, Montepulciano, and Barbera. This biodiversity, rooted in historic farming practices, is central to the character of the wines.

Farming is fully biodynamic, with no synthetic inputs. In the cellar, intervention is minimal: hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations, no additives, and only მცირე sulphur after malolactic fermentation. A mix of vessels—steel, concrete, old barriques, and amphorae—is used depending on the wine.

The wines offer a distinct expression of coastal Tuscany—fresh, textural, and balanced, with moderate alcohol and strong drinkability. They sit between classic and natural styles, prioritising clarity of terroir over power.

Malgiacca’s range reflects this philosophy: precise and saline whites, vibrant and approachable reds, and wines that consistently favour energy, nuance, and versatility at the table.
