More Info: This is one of a few wines produced on Sting and his wife Trudy's Tuscan estate, Il Palagio. After taking over in 1999, the pair set about restoring the land to its former glory, replanting around 11 hectares of vineyards from 2000. They now run a fully biodynamic vineyard and produce some fine Tuscan reds as well as a delicious white Vermentino.
