Ottomani Farm Introduces its Native and Sustainable Varieties
Wine tastings to discover the typical scents and flavors of Tuscany.
At the new Manifattura Tabacchi, Bottega Biologica is hosting an event on Friday, May 12, starting at 5:00 PM, to better understand the work of Ottomani Farm, whose products the store sells.
“Alessandro, one of the founders of Ottomani, will be with us in our organic store, says Filippo Pini, owner of the bio shop located in the former cigar factory at Via delle Cascine 35 (Building B5).
“We will offer customers tastings of their IGT white wine, their rosé, and the newly bottled IGT Chianti Classico red wine from the 2021 vintage.”
Ottomani’s IGT white wine is made from Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca plants that are over 40 years old, while the rosé is composed of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo, and 10% Colorino.
On this occasion, the writer Luciano Artusi, a local institution, scholar, and promoter of Florentine and Tuscan history, will also be present. Artusi was awarded the Fiorino d’Oro in 2003 and was for decades the emblem of the Calcio Storico Fiorentino.
Ottomani Farm (www.ottomanivino.com) is located between the municipalities of Greve and Impruneta in the Chianti region. It was founded by four childhood friends who, once grown up, saw their dream come true.
“We restored old vineyards, preserved and enhanced mass selection of native varieties,” they explain.
“By working with native grape varieties and using organic and biodynamic cultivation and winemaking techniques, we decided from the start to avoid using synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers and to operate exclusively with ‘sustainable’ agronomic methods for the environment.”
