Az. Agr. Pietro Beconcini ss. Via Montorzo 13/A 56028 San Miniato (PI)
Toscana Bianco IGT PRS. Proposed by Pietro Beconcini. An organic wine that comes from San Miniato, about 100 metres above sea level. An area rich in wine-making history and culture with vineyards that extend over land composed of Pliocene clay and sand, with a high salt and limestone content, residue of an ancient ocean that once covered the region. This wine is made from 100% Malvasia Lunga, a white grape variety of Greek origin that has been widespread in Tuscany for centuries. Also known as Malvasia - Bianca - Lunga, this grape variety is appreciated for its aromatic qualities and its ability to give wines freshness and structure. The PRS wine-making process involves maceration of the grapes in the press for 12 hours, followed by fermentation at a low temperature. The wine is bottled young to preserve its freshness and then aged in the bottle for 4 months. This process enhances the aromatic characteristics of Malvasia Lunga and the typical flavour of the San Miniato terroir. Pale yellow with green reflections, it is very aromatic on the nose, with hints of citrus and exotic fruit. In the mouth it is very flavourful, thanks to the mineral-rich soil, and has a surprisingly buttery smoothness that balances the wine's freshness. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish and vegetable dishes. Its balanced acidity and smoothness on the palate make it an ideal accompaniment to Mediterranean cuisine and light, fresh dishes.
The Pietro Beconcini farm is located in San Miniato, in the heart of Tuscany. Its history began in the 1950s, when the grandfather of the current owner, Leonardo Beconcini, managed to buy the land on which he worked as a sharecropper for the Marchesi Ridolfi family, thus becoming one of the first Tuscan farmers to leave the sharecropping system. Later, his son Pietro decided to dedicate himself entirely to the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine, laying the foundations for the company we know today. One of the most fascinating aspects of the Beconcini winery is the introduction and promotion of Tempranillo, a typically Spanish grape variety, which has found a surprisingly congenial habitat in these lands. The discovery of ancient Tempranillo vines in San Miniato was unexpected and led the company to undertake a programme of research and experimentation. Today, thanks to its genetic characteristics, the Tempranillo of San Miniato produces very versatile grapes, suitable for long-aging wines that combine the typical softness of the vine with territorial characteristics such as Tuscan acidity and the flavour of calcareous soils. In addition to Tempranillo, however, the company also produces wines from traditional varieties, such as the ever-present Tuscan Sangiovese.
