Description
What kind of wine it is
Acquagiusta Toscana Rosso from Tenuta La Badiola is a red wine with Indicazione Geografica Tipica status, boasting an intense ruby colour and created from a balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. On the nose, it reveals a defined aromatic profile, with clear notes of red fruits in jam, spicy hints and delicate balsamic nuances reminiscent of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is vigorous and elegant, supported by a significant structure and well-integrated tannins, the result of careful ageing in barrels. The sip offers an excellent balance between softness and body, finishing with a long aromatic persistence, making it ideal for pairing with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This red wine is produced in Tuscany, in the Maremma region, within the Vigna di Levante. The rows of vines benefit from a favourable Mediterranean climate and are strategically positioned to optimise exposure to the sun and winds, thus enhancing the unique characteristics of the soil and the richness of the water reserves. The vineyard is managed using the spurred cordon training system, with a density of five thousand plants per hectare and carefully calibrated yields, creating optimal conditions to express the local biodiversity and the identity of the terroir in the glass.
How it is produced
The manual harvest takes place between September and October, with careful selection of the grapes to preserve the integrity of the fruit. In the winery, a respectful approach is favoured: after immediate maceration, the musts undergo fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by static cold stabilisation. The wine then matures for ten months in barrels, a crucial stage for enriching the tannic structure before a final period of rest, which defines its stability and final elegance.
History and Curiosities
The Acquagiusta Toscana Rosso 2024 from Tenuta La Badiola originates in the Vigna di Levante, celebrating the most authentic soul of the Maremma. Under the guidance of oenologist Daniele Orazzini, the meticulous manual harvest and low-intervention vinification preserve the Mediterranean biodiversity. After careful fermentation at a controlled temperature, a patient maturation of 10 months in wood enriches the structure with elegance and vigour. The subsequent rest in the bottle completes an intense red that masterfully expresses the unmistakable character of the Tuscan territory.

The Acquagiusta vineyards cover thirty hectares, divided into two vineyards: we chose to position our vineyards by studying the exposure of the plants to the elements, in order to recreate the ideal conditions of water, soil, sun and wind and to exploit the strong character of the soil.
We want our wines to be pure and sincere: this is why we work with the utmost respect for natural processes, intervening as little as necessary. In this way, we enhance the grapes, keep the characteristics of the territory intact and create an authentic product.
Our work is based on tradition and experimentation. While rooted in Tuscan winemaking tradition, our style is constantly evolving: only by making the most of the fruits of the earth can we produce a wine that embodies its spirit and character. Read more
