“a beautiful, floral white that tastes like summer in tuscany.” – everyone who’s ever tried it
meet ivole: a bright, organic white from the heart of tuscany that drinks like sunshine, wildflowers, and good energy. fresh and mineral-driven with notes of pear, peach, melon, and a hint of jasmine. it’s summer in a bottle, no matter the season.
description: straw yellow in color with golden undertones, ivole opens with a bouquet of stone fruit, lemon blossom, and chamomile. the palate is soft yet structured, with flavors of juicy pear, melon, apricot, and a delicate touch of wild herbs. a crisp, dry finish brings balance, sparkle, and a sense of place. easygoing elegance that lingers long after the last sip.
region: ivole is crafted at poggio del moro, a certified organic estate just south of montepulciano in tuscany. surrounded by wheat fields, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads, this historic land has produced wine for centuries. the modern estate was lovingly revived by owners tania and luigi, alongside a young passionate winemaking team.
winemaking: minimal-intervention and certified organic from vineyard to bottle. grapes are harvested from the estate’s hillside vineyards and vinified gently to preserve freshness and aromatics. No added sugar, no excessive manipulation. ivole is part of the estate’s “flower power” line, a trio of thoughtfully made wines.
