About the Governo alla Toscana method
The “governo alla toscana” method is a traditional Tuscan winemaking technique where a portion of freshly harvested grapes is set aside to partially dry after the main harvest. Later, these semi-dried grapes are added to the fermenting wine, triggering a second fermentation. This process enhances the wine’s richness, depth, and complexity, resulting in a softer texture, increased concentration of flavours, and a rounder, more approachable character while still preserving freshness and vibrancy.
