Fresh sea breezes provide a benevolent temperature difference between day and night, intensifying flavour – flirtatious and upbeat.
"Marchese Lodovico Antinori has indulged his daughter Sophia here by creating this dry, Tuscan pink. We are indebted to Sophia for her inspired idea, a pretty, fragrant 50:50 blend of aromatic Cabernet Franc and powerful, evocative Syrah. Red berry freshness is complemented by underlying minerality - very attractive."

“Antinori’s name doesn’t really need introduction, but the 49ha Tenuta di Biserno might. Located in Bibbona and bordering Bolgheri, it was acquired by the Antinoris back in 1995 and has been making Super Tuscans from Bordeaux varietals since 2001, with a particular focus on Cabernet Franc. It comes as no surprise then that the brand-new Sof Rosé (named after Lodovico Antinori’s daughter Sofia) is comprised of half Cabernet Franc and half Syrah. The style was originally inspired by classic Provence rosés, with its pale colour and fresh, bright nose, but the resulting wine shows the weight and character of warm-climate Cab Franc and Syrah. The nose is intense, with plenty of strawberries and crunchy red berries, refreshing acidity. Its full palate leads to a spicy red and green peppercorn finish.”
Tuscany’s rolling vineyards and olive groves make it one of the world’s most stunning wine regions, yet it is also Italy’s oldest, dating back to the Etruscans.
