LYA

LYA – IGT TOSCANO BIANCO

 

Wine dedicated to Lya, daughter of Cav. Ninci, who passed away prematurely at the beginning of the 1900s.

The label was created by the Japanese artist Noriko Hirokami who, starting from the logo of Tenute di Fraternita reinterpreted it in a modern way.

Wine produced from the union of native Tuscan grapes, such as white Malvasia and Trebbiano Toscano with the international Chardonnay. The intent is to create a blend that combines tradition and modernity: a contemporary and easy wine to drink according the Tuscan tradition. This wine, perfect for summer, accompanies every moment of the day.

Lya embraces all the principles that mark the whole range of products of Tenute di Fraternita: full attention to respect for the environment, the authenticity  of the products and the search for the uniqueness of the land of Arezzo. The white fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a low temperature thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts. After racking, the wine ends its aging first in steel then in bottle.
