Vinum Aurum, 2017

Guido Gualandi is an organic wine producer in Poppiano (Chianti Colli Fiorentini). Gualandi wines are known for their archeological approach. Recipes are from Roman or Renaissance times. The wines are prepared manually using only wooden barrels, terracotta and wooden vats. The grape varieties are autochthonous., Gualandi seeks to offer you a genuine taste experience that remains faithful to the tradition of the land, the vineyards and the grapes that grow there. Guido specialises in old Tuscan grape variety such as Foglia Tonda, Pugnitello and old variety of Sangiovese such as the “abrusco”. Those grape varieties were abandoned more than a century ago but thanks to the University of Florence they have been re-discovered.
