Libertà is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah. This wine expresses great balance between the soft tannins of Merlot, the aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc and elegant spicy Syrah. The name Libertà derives from a gift that the city of Florence made to eight Florentine families including the then owners of Collazzi who fought valorously to free the city.

    Vintage Description:

    The 2018 Liberta' dei Collazzi is a blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 15% Syrah, but what comes through most is its distinctive Tuscan DNA. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice and spice are front and center in this delicious, wonderfully inviting Tuscan red. (Antonio Galloni, Sep 2020)

    Libertà

    wine description:

    With the 2008 harvest, "Libertà", Collazzi's second wine, was also produced. Libertà is a persuasive red, with grapes harvested from the youngest vineyards that embrace the splendid estate. The words "Freedom" were inserted in 1376 in the coat of arms of the family that owned Collazzi at the time, for having fought valiantly for the freedom of the city of Florence from the invader.
