Variety: Syrah & Viognier
While Tuscany is known for its Sangiovese, Fabbrica has pushed the envelope of Tuscany’s capabilities as soon as it was founded in 2013. In the Val d’Orcia in eastern Tuscany, the soils and climates are more aligned with that of the Rhone Valley. The hilly part of the village of Pienza recalls those of the southern Rhone while the soils there are a reminder of the northern Rhone. The direction of Fabbrica is one of exploration and curiosity.
While this blend is nowhere close to a classic Tuscan wine, the style of Syrah and Viognier blended is classic in the northern Rhone Valley in France, specifically in Cote Rotie. This is Fabbrica’s nod to that very famous style of both full-bodied Syrah with the aromatic Viognier.
