Agricola Leuta Apostata 2020
Sangiovese 50% and other old Tuscan varietals
In the glass this wine is deep and intense dark ruby red. The bouquet is very fruit forward with an intense cherry, strawberry, pomegranate and black cherry on a scent of raspberry and raisin, complexed by an evident gravel minerality, moss and balsamic eucalyptus. In the mouth his wine is intense but delicate, with medium body and good acidity. extremely refreshing and delicate on the palate. Blackfruits, combined with an elegant almond on a nice tannin matrix. A long ending but requiring few more years of aging to express itself at his best

At Leuta, since is foundation in 2000 Denis Zeni has striven to have as low a carbon footprint as possible. In 2000, he adopted a clean approach to agriculture. Since the day 1, they have been fully Organic and are now entering the process to become certified. Since the 2005 vintage, Leuta adopted a vegan approach to vinification. They are going to eliminate the use of every other material needed in the vineyard/cellar such as leather gloves, leather boots and so on in order to be even less invasive on the environment. Although they use some organic manure to amend the soil but will continue to search for a substitute.
In the cellar, they recently made an agreement with www.lifegate.it a company that guarantees to produce energy only from environment friendly resources. For the vineyard, they are building a little photovoltaic facility that will be more than enough to provide the energy for operations.
Starting with the vintage 2015 bottling, labels are FSC certified paper, GMO free, contains 30% post-consumer recycled waste and is produced with EKOenergy, resulting in a 20% reduction in carbon footprint. Corks, bottles and sleeves are already certified for vegan use.
