Costabate Toscana IGT

I belong to a large family and have been chosen because I am large;
Rooted on the slopes of Castelnuovo dell’Abate
With my head in the air and my feet grounded in the earth,
Colored by rays of the sun and polished by caresses of the wind.
Time has refined my allure.
I sailed for a long journey in the silence,
Rested in precious wood casks and finally dressed up for our celebration.
