Beconcini, San Miniato: signature wines from native varieties and Tempranillo.
IXE (TEMPRANILLO)
From the new Tempranillo vineyards comes the most spontaneous and natural wine. For many years, the unexpected presence of Tempranillo in San Miniato was marked with the letter “X,” a symbol that held within it the mystery of this story. The wine’s name derives from the Tuscan dialect pronunciation of this code, X = “IXE.”
RECISO (SANGIOVESE)
Today, Reciso is produced in very limited quantities, from six small ridge vineyards totaling about three hectares, evenly divided between southeast and southwest exposures. These sites were chosen not only for their orientation and altitude, but also for their mineral complexity and the strong presence of white clay, together with the inevitable fossilized seashells that form the very backbone of our soils.
VEA (TREBBIANO MACERATO)
I will never be a producer of white wines, yet research in viticulture is my true passion. Inspired by the memories of my father, who spoke of the old Trebbiano Rosa once found in San Miniato, I searched, discovered, and today cultivate ancient clones of these grapes, with which I produce VEA (the coded form of EVA, a white wine with distinctive attributes).
