Discover Cupinero IGT Toscana Rosso Col Di Bacche
Historical Origin
Cupinero IGT Toscana Rosso Col di Bacche is an oenological gem produced in the celebrated region of Tuscany, known for its fertile soils and ideal climate for viticulture.
This red wine is the fruit of Italian winemaking tradition, which is blended with modern techniques to create a high-quality product.
The Vineyard
Location and Climate The Col Di Bacche vineyard is located in one of the most privileged areas of Tuscany, where the Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild winters and warm but breezy summers, creates the ideal environment for viticulture.
The vineyard’s particular exposure, facing the setting sun, ensures optimal light, crucial for the good development of the grapes. Soil The soil of the Col Di Bacche vineyard plays a key role in defining the quality of the grapes.
Characterized by good drainability, it is composed mainly of clay and limestone, with a rich presence of minerals that transfer to the wine those earthy and mineral notes so appreciated by connoisseurs.
The composition of the soil also helps regulate the water available to the vines, which is essential to slightly stress the plants so that they concentrate the sugars and aromas in the berries. Grape Varieties and Growing Techniques The Col Di Bacche vineyard is primarily planted with Sangiovese grapes, an indigenous variety that finds its ideal habitat in Tuscany.
These vines are joined by other international varieties, selected to enrich the complexity of Cupinero IGT.
Cultivation techniques follow the principles of sustainable agriculture, with limited use of chemicals and great respect for the natural rhythm of the plants.
Vineyard Management Vineyard management is meticulous and aims to produce high quality grapes rather than quantity.
Pruning is strictly manual and aimed at ensuring good aeration of the grapes and balanced sun exposure.
During the year, several passes through the vineyard are made to select the grapes and ensure that each berry contributes to the wine‘s flavor and aroma profile. Harvesting Grape harvesting is also done by hand, following the optimal point of ripeness for each variety.
This process, although more labor-intensive and expensive than mechanical harvesting, allows for the selection of the healthiest and ripest bunches, ensuring that only the best is turned into wine. Sustainability and Innovation Finally, the Col Di Bacche vineyard is at the forefront of adopting sustainable practices, such as installing solar panels to reduce energy consumption and using soil conservation techniques to prevent erosion.
These choices not only improve the quality of the wine, but also contribute to the preservation of the surrounding environment, promoting viticulture that looks to the future without forgetting the roots of tradition.

International Pairings In addition to classic Italian dishes, Cupinero also lends itself well to pairings with international cuisines that use red meats and elaborate preparations.
An example would be a beef tenderloin in red wine sauce or French cuisine dishes such as coq au vin, where the wine comes into play in both preparation and pairing.
