Grance Senesi
Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities
Recognized since 2011, the Grance Senesi DOC represents a highly concentrated wine production in Tuscany, limited to just five verified producers across five municipalities, including Rapolano Terme. While Sangiovese must comprise at least 60% of the standard red blend, this denomination distinguishes itself from its Tuscan neighbours through highly specific viticultural criteria. Notably, the Riserva designation is strictly restricted to grapes harvested from vineyards at least five years old. Additionally, the production guidelines define ten distinct wine types, including a sweet Passito that requires grapes to be dried to a minimum of 300 grams of sugar per liter.
