The wine
I invite you to discover a gem that breaks the rules: the Pa'ro Orange IGT from Buccia Nera. This is not an ordinary white, but a bold expression of the Tuscan terroir, a wine that tells a story of tradition and innovation.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, in Loc. Campriano, near Arezzo, the Buccia Nera estate cultivates its vines with a deep respect for nature. This Pa'ro Orange, 2024 vintage, is the fruit of a balanced blend of 50% Grechetto and 50% Trebbiano, two white grape varieties which, under the watchful eye of the winemaker, reveal an unexpected facet here. The estate, certified organic, is committed to sustainable viticulture, guaranteeing the purity and authenticity of every bottle.
This wine stands out for its particular vinification, that of "orange wines". Fermentation with skin maceration, an ancestral technique, gives the Pa'ro Orange a colour of remarkable intensity, much deeper than a traditional white. After this crucial stage, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks for eight months, then rests for at least two months in bottle. On the nose, I perceive an intriguing bouquet, dominated by notes of candied citrus, dried apricot and a light touch of exotic spices, creating a complex and enveloping aroma. On the palate, the Pa'ro Orange surprises with its perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. I detect flavours of ripe yellow fruits, honey and a subtle hint of vanilla, which testifies to the careful ageing. The fruity and spicy notes blend with soft tannins, offering a velvety texture and a most pleasant aromatic persistence.
This wine is a true invitation to culinary exploration. I recommend it with fish and seafood dishes, where its complexity will enhance the marine flavours. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, whose richness it will balance. Feel free to serve it as an aperitif; it will awaken your palate and prepare you for a memorable meal. The Pa'ro Orange IGT from Buccia Nera is more than a wine; it is an experience, a sensory journey to the heart of an inventive Tuscany that respects its terroirs.

San Gimignano
Tosco Everyone rushes to Chianti, but in San Gimignano, Vernaccia is what you should absolutely aim for: this mineral and fresh white is one of the few to rival the great Tuscan reds!

Tosco If you want to understand the soul of the Maremma, forget Chianti for a moment: Erik Banti is the pioneer who made Morellino di Scansano shine, a much warmer and wilder red, perfect with local cheeses!

Tosco Drinking a characterful red with the sea breeze rising straight up from the Gulf of Follonica is exactly the kind of wild contrast typical of the Maremma that you won't find anywhere else in Chianti!
Tosco If you want to step outside the classic Chianti, the Vasario white and the Syrah from this estate are truly worth the trip, especially paired with the famous bread of'Altopascio!
