The careful selection by hand of the grapes, the care in the use of the barrique and the respect for the characteristics 
of the Sangiovese Toscano give life to an elegant, harmonious, structured, soft and velvety wine: this is the 
Rosso Toscano IGT Paretaio, produced by the homonymous vineyard of San Gimignano of Casale Falchini, 
with hand-selected Sangiovese and Merlot grapes.

The wine remains for a year and a half in 225l oak barrels, and spends the same amount of time in the bottle
 as it is further refined before it is offered to the market.

How to enjoy the
Rosso Toscano IGT Paretaio


The Paretaio Rosso Toscano IGT produced in the province of Siena by Casale Falchini refines well in glass even for 8 or 10 years.

It stands out for its deep ruby red color, tending to garnet, as well as for its clean scent of ripe morello cherry and prune. The taste is a dry, austere, spicy, harmonious wine.

To be served once decanted at a temperature of 18 ° C, this red wine is ideal for accompanying red meat dishes and grilled game, soft non-spicy medium or long-aged cheese selections.
