Stefania del Giudice — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:12:55 +0000

GOLD Medal for their Crudelia 2024 at World of Rose’ competition.

Cheers!

Tasting notes:

“A light copper rosé. A full-bodied nose, with notes of almond, cinnamon, damp earth, candied orange peel, and acacia. On the palate, white apricot, a slender structure, and plenty of juice. The acidity permeates the entire palate, lending a flowing finish. A hint of lime juice. With aeration, the complexity increases on the nose and palate. An atypical rosé.“

Simple, Clear and Pure:

this is NUDO

The purpose

Nudo symbolizes “unvarnished, straightforward and purity”.
This is how the wine tastes: simple, clear and pure.
Sustainability is a top priority. Cultivated exclusively according to the rules of organic farming. The wines are fermented spontaneously. At Agricola del Nudo’s they only use sulphites in very small quantities and they only choose for the local grape varieties Vermentino, and Sangiovese but also Syrah.

The history

NUDO was born from the friendship between Stefano Bambagioni, a farmer from Maremma and Roland Krebser, a Swiss oenologist and is a project of the heart.

Stefano grew grapes using organic methods on his two-hectare vineyard. As an oenologist at a winery, Roland bought these grapes from him. That’s how they met in 2009 and that’s how the story began.

At first they only produced a small batch for families and friends. In the year 2012 the first major production of 3000 bottles for public sale started. Thanks to the wonderful cooperation and help of many friends, production was increased to a total of 24,000 bottles. Nevertheless, they have remained true to their philosophy.

The Wines: Excellent grapes from Maremma Tuscany

The wines are consistently grown and matured using organic methods. Great importance to collecting the entire harvest carefully by hand in small cassettes. The selection of the grapes takes place directly in the vineyard.

Toscana Rosso IGT Materia Rossa: La Casa dei Polpi, the special edition of Cantina LaSelva‘s Toscana Rossa IGT 2022.

A red wine with character – smooth and enveloping.
A special edition wine to support “The House of Octopuses” an initiative aimed at protecting these incredible inhabitants of the sea from intensive fishing using plastic traps.
This experimental project seeks to offer octopuses new shelters by permanently installing artificial dens on the seabed, made from eco-sustainable materials such as terracotta.

THE WINE

Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot
Production area: Magliano in Toscana
Bottles produced: 16.000 bottles

Vinification: After gentle destemming and crushing, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness and varietal character. Fermentation times and pump-over practices are carefully adjusted according to the specific traits of each grape. After fermentation, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks, allowing it to develop greater aromatic complexity and a clean, vibrant profile.
Flavour and aroma: Elegant and spicy with fresh notes of red berries. In the mouth it is soft, persistent and fresh at the end.
Pairings: pasta dishes with red sauces and meat sauce, red meat, spicy dishes.
Serving temperature: 18° C.
Certification: ICEA – Naturland Fair.

“Nothing taken away, nothing added”

This is the motto of Cantina LaSelva, founded in 1980 by Karl Egger.
Through his vision and work in developing LaSelva, Egger became one of the pioneers of organic farming in Europe. Karl Egger left his homeland, Munich, and moved to the south of Tuscany where he bought 7 hectares of land. Here he began to grow fruit and vegetables following the simple rules of nature: a choice that led him ten years later to give birth to the organic farming association, Naturland.
In 1984 LaSelva became the first Naturland-certified business beyond German borders.

In Maremma

Cantina LaSelva is located in a unique place, nestled in the south of Tuscany and surrounded by untamed nature. The varied landscape ranges from the woods of a regional park to medieval villages, and then on to the sea. These are places where you can discover ancient traditions and enjoy true beauty in every season. Maremma is also the birthplace of Tuscan viticulture, with its origins dating back to the Etruscans and their sophisticated civilisation.

The microclimate of the Maremma hills has always brought out the best qualities of Sangiovese grapes, which are used to make wines like Morellino di Scansano – known and loved throughout the world. The combination of minerals, lime, marl and limestone – combined with the coastal influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea – form the basis for opulent, soft red wines and for savoury white wines with a strong personality.

Strictly Organic

Even in the winery, they process the grapes without using unnecessary additives.
They apply organic concepts and adopt the most advanced technologies in temperature control, fermentation, pumping over and delicate punching down.

Morellino di Scansano Riserva Colli dell’Uccellina 2019

This Morellino di Scansano, one of our region’s most extraordinary wines, comes from our vineyard in Uccellina Park. An elegant, compact and full-bodied wine with pleasantly fruity and spicy notes.

Vinification
The grapes are harvested when they achieve optimal ripeness and vinified separately in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. When fermentation is completed, the Sangiovese is left in contact with the skins for another 10 days, while the Merlot is placed directly into new French oak barriques. At the end of maceration, the Sangiovese is put into French oak tonneuax for 12 months. During maturation the wines are racked twice and combined only shortly before bottling.

A sulphite-free wine that’s the fruit of our passion, which expresses the purity of Maremma and the boldness of our philosophy. Strong, complex structure with a persistent, spicy finish.

It is a wine where the fresh, fruity aspect of the grapes prevails, with good body and pleasant persistence. The nose has hints of blackberry, cherry and red berries.

Pairings
Pasta dishes with red sauces and meat sauce, red meat, spicy dishes, eggs.

Vinification
After careful sorting, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and left to ferment for about ten days in small steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted and left to rest until malolactic conversion is completed. It is then decanted once more and left to rest in the tank until bottling.During each stage of processing the wine is protected from contact with the air and no sulphites or other antioxidants are added.
