Relique. The pleasure of a light red wine! ‘What if we created a red summer wine for a change from the glass of rosé or white we drink in summer? A summer evening, some rosé, a few friends and the project was born… The challenge was launched, and the challenge taken up! In 2020, the first cuvée was released, awarded 2 stars in the Guide Hachette 2023! It’s called Relique, after our oldest working companion, our old Toselli caterpillar tractor, which is still in use. Vinified with indigenous yeasts, Relique belongs to the family of natural wines and has all the qualities of a natural wine. Fresh, lively and fruity, it faithfully embodies our terroir.
