Just 1,000 bottles of this 100% Syrah from the coast of Tuscany are produced from the estate of Giardini Ripadiversilia. Dark fruits, ink, tobacco, spice and balsamic notes make this versatile red delicious with tomato based dishes such as venison bolognese or grilled cuttlefish with mint and squid sauce.

No Tractors, Only Hands, Passion, Heart.

Giardini Ripadiversilia was born in the early 1980s from an idea, a dream, a challenge of our parents, Giovanni and Renza, to produce wine in their homeland: Versilia.La%20Costa_2021_WBSS25_1

The vineyards, where we cultivate Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah after careful zoning, are entirely terraced and cover a total area of 3 hectares. The difficult conditions require us to carry out all operations manually. Our heroic vineyards have exposures from east to northwest and are located at altitudes varying from 0 to 240 metres above sea level, which is only 5 km away. Behind us, the Apuan Alps, which reach a height of 2,000 metres and are only 10 km from the coast, create a unique microclimate with high temperature excursions between day and night, which give our wines freshness, flavour, and minerality.

The soils are schistose, rich in minerals, with a clay content of around 15%.

We believe in conscious agriculture, free and respectful of the environment that surrounds us, to produce wines with a strong identity matrix.

Tasting
NOTES

Promising nose offers blackcurrant & blackcurrant leaf, ink and tobacco with additional vanilla and spice. On the palate; mint, balsamic notes plus pepper. Depth of dark fruit is nuanced by oak influence, black olive brine and a perky acidity. Enjoyable and quite pretty with drying tannins and a long mineral-rich finish.

Food
