Sine Felle Rosato is a Toscana Rosato IGT made by Roberto Moretti and Lucia Mori at Podere Casaccia, a 12-hectare biodynamic farm on the hills of Scandicci, just west of Florence. The vineyards sit on soils of clay, loam, and fossil-rich sands, and are planted with old clones of Sangiovese and Canaiolo ranging from 40 to 55 years of age. The estate holds Demeter biodynamic certification and is farmed without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers, using biodynamic preparations and green manuring with leguminous cover crops.
Grapes are harvested early to preserve freshness and acidity. After a brief 6-hour skin maceration, the wine ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel, with no temperature control. It is aged in stainless steel for a few months, then bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero added sulfur. Production is tiny, typically under 2,000 bottles per vintage, and bottles are hand-numbered.
Sine Felle means "without bitterness" in Latin, a phrase that describes both the wine's approachable, food-friendly character and Moretti's philosophy. The wine shows a deeper-than-average rosato color from the skin contact, with red cherry, dried rose petal, and a savory, mineral finish. Give it 15 minutes of air after opening to allow the wine to fully open up, as is common with zero-sulfur wines.
