Aqvarello Chioccioli Altadonna, is a slightly sparkling Tuscan Sangiovese with a low alcohol content and high drinkability: from the encounter between wine and water "Aqvarello" is born.
"Aqvarello, Ancestral Natural Tradition" they call it this way because it is a drink that comes from ancient traditions, the wine-food that for centuries has quenched the thirst of the people of the Mediterranean.
Aqvarello is natural because it is a living product, whose only ingredients are grapes and water.
Finally, Aqvarello is ancestral because it is a drink born from an ancient culture, based on the art of reuse and re-utilization. This type of wine was produced for sharecroppers and they did it in this simple way: the must from which the "first" wine was born, was reused and diluted with water to create a new drink.
With this idea, Aqvarello di Chioccioli Altadonna was conceived, to bring back to the table a tradition, the scents and sensations of the "wine of the past", a unique product created for the pleasure of simple and sincere things.
After two weeks in contact with the skins, the wine is diluted with water and a small percentage of must is added to conclude with a fermentation in the bottle on the yeasts.
Aqvarello Chioccioli Altadonna is a drink based on slightly sparkling red wine, in the glass it has a bright, intense and impenetrable red color. The aromas recall the wine of the past, with hints of wild strawberries. In the mouth it is initially particular and atypical, to then surprise sip after sip for its freshness and ease of drinking, thanks also to the low alcohol content (7.5%).
Ideal wine for hot summer afternoons, perhaps to accompany a sandwich with salami, just like in the past!
Please note: yeasts are still present inside the bottle.
