Terre Margaritelli, Mirantico Rosso D.O.C.
(meer-ahn-TEE-coh roh-so)

 

Tasting Notes: Terre Margaritelli’s founder Fernando Margaritelli made his fortune growing sustainable forests that yield some of the best wood in the world for his incomparable hardwood floors. At age 60, he gave away his empire to friends and family, keeping only a car, and his small winery. Now, six decades later, his estate, run by his children, is a leader in organic viticulture and makers of fresh, dynamic wines that are giving Toscana a run for its money.
