Barbanera Rosso Toscano Sir Passo
The Barbanera Sir Passo is a captivating red blend that showcases an innovative winemaking technique from the heart of Tuscany. Crafted in a “Super Tuscan” style, this wine combines Sangiovese with other international varietals, resulting in a bold and luscious profile. The name “Sir Passo” refers to the unique winemaking process where a portion of the grapes are dried (passito method) for a short period before fermentation. This process concentrates the sugars and flavors, giving the wine an exceptional richness and smooth texture.

This wine is an excellent example of modern Tuscan winemaking.
