RED WINE

SENSI SANGIOVESE NINFATO

The rare
butterfly “Charaxes jasius” is particularly common on the Tyrrhenian coast,
mainly on the Tuscan side, where it has found its ideal habitat. It is commonly
known under the most romantic name of “Nymph of the Strawberry Tree” because it
lives in the woods where those plants are and of which leaves and fruits it
feeds on. Farmers, however, know this butterfly with a different name, the
“drunken butterfly” or, more simply, “the boozer” for its habit of going to the
vineyards to suck the sugary and tasty grapes. A greedy habit, they were of
precious help to the farmers who knew in that way when the grapes were ripe and
ready for harvest. The sense of freedom and lightness that this story recalls are
the same that you get when you taste Ninfato, a Sangiovese made as per ancient
Tuscan methods with limited presence of sulfites, an authentic wine that is
light as the “Nymph of the Strawberry Tree”.
