In 2020 Fioretti vinified Santinovo Toscana IGT. That same vintage he undertook the first trial vinification of ten quintals of Cabernet Franc from an old vineyard block located the small estate, Borgo Santinovo, owned by Federico Taddei in Colle di Val d’Elsa. The first vinifications of this cuve proof of unrealized potential and also the confirmation that the high quality Bordeaux varietals, when planted in the right place, is of greater value than insisting upon local varietals at all cost. Few grapes offer the completeness of Bordeaux varietals. Their presence in Tuscany is an existing patrimony to explore and exalt, much more than an influence of internationalization.
