Grapes are harvested from small vineyards found in the provinces of Florence. They are then pressed and fermented under controlled temperatures of 26-28˚c for 12 days. Wine is aged for at least 6 months in stainless steel tanks, preserving the fruit characteristics and flavours.
Cantine Mazzei is a family-run winemaking and bottling business based to the north of Milan that was originally started by Roberto Mazzei, back in 1981, and today is run by his son, Andreas.
