The Magic of Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet
Villa Trasqua Traluna is a unique blend of two grape varieties: the renowned Sangiovese, the backbone of many great Chianti wines, and the lesser-known Alicante Bouschet. The addition of 12% Alicante Bouschet gives this wine a surprisingly silky finish. With a commitment to sustainability and respect for nature, the vineyards are meticulously maintained. The region's ideal microclimate ensures minimal intervention, resulting in a wine that is pure and authentic. After careful hand-harvesting and selection, the grapes are gently transported and pressed. The wine then ages for six months in stainless steel vats, after which Villa Trasqua Traluna is ready to conquer the world.

The aroma is a rich symphony of red and black berries, violets, and subtle spicy notes. The taste is a perfect balance of fruity and spicy notes, with a silky, lingering finish.
