Tip: The rose and the Vermentino offer the natural lineage at its most approachable; reds need decanting and tend toward funkier registers.
Massa Vecchia bottles its reds, rose and white Vermentino with native-yeast fermentation, extended maceration, no filtration and minimal sulfites, often with no added SO2 at all. A founding producer in the Italian low-sulfite movement.
Tip: Look for the Rosso da Tavola NV and the Rosato; both are entry points to the low-sulfite Tuscan rangelist.
