Fattoria Il Muro Castro Rosso di Toscana IGT

Fattoria Il Muro Castro Rosso di Toscana IGT

Fattoria Il Muro has been owned by the Pancaro family for about 200 years and has always been dedicated to viticulture, thanks to the favorable environmental conditions. The presence of soils rich in galestro and the climate, characterized by strong temperature variations due to the proximity to the Alpe di Poti, create a micro-environment that enhances the organoleptic qualities and healthiness of the grapes. This allows for the adoption of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. The vineyards and olive groves extend mainly on hilly terrain that gently slopes towards the valley plain of the Castro stream.

The name of the wine is dedicated to the Castro torrent, a mountain torrent that flows down by our vineyards.
It can be consider a Baby SuperTuscan because of its «traditional» SuperTuscan blend, but unlike “Senior” Supertuscan wines, ageing takes place in used barrels and only for 6 months, so it remains fresh and extremely easy to drink.

At Fattoria Il Muro they started to call their Chianti, Spigallo, in 2011, when they changed the farm’s image and decided to adopt a cock pecking a sheaf of wheat as their logo. The decision was made because they found this picture in their villa since in the past it was used as the family crest. The name Spigallo is a pun because it’s the union for the Italian words “spiga” (sheaf of wheat) and “gallo” (cock) which are both in the final, symbolic logo.
