2021 Keir Ansonica

Tasting notes:

The name 'Keir' comes from Ancient Greek meaning ‘hand’, which refers to the hand-made nature of the amphorae, and the wines themselves - which are meticulously produced in tiny quantities, just 3,000 bottles a year. Fermented and macerated in clay amphora with two months of skin contact. Astonishing brightness, purity, and nuance, this is almost an orange wine with complex aromas of magnolia, elderflower, fennel, juniper, saffron, peach, nectarine mandarin, grapefruit, lime and salted almond.

Producer description:

Founded in 1984, Tua Rita was instrumental in establishing the ‘cult’ status of the earliest Super Tuscans. They have earned a reputation for being some of the best producers of Cabernet and Merlot in Tuscany. Today, second generation winemaker Stefano Frascolla continues to push the boundaries of Italian wine, experimenting with new varieties and techniques.
