Alta Valle della Greve

About the wine

The Alta Valle della Greve IGT covers a specific hilly area in the province of Florence, Tuscany, characterized by a sub-humid climate and diverse soil compositions, including calcareous, marly, and sandy-gravelly deposits. The denomination allows for a wide range of wine styles, including white, red, rosato, and novello, as well as varietal-labeled wines. The production is deeply rooted in traditional Tuscan viticultural practices, emphasizing the use of specialized vineyards and traditional training systems like Guyot and cordone. The IGT provides a flexible framework for winemakers to experiment with both indigenous and international grape varieties authorized in the Tuscany region. The wines are known for their balanced organoleptic profiles, reflecting the unique terroir of the Greve valley. The disciplinare mandates strict control over production yields and requires that all vinification processes occur within the designated area or the broader Tuscany region.
