"...Curato follows the canons of the most ancient Tuscan tradition. Its goodness is equal to the slowness of the production process that uses the mother yeasts handed down from generation to generation. In the pre-bottling blending phase, very small quantities of product with different sensory characteristics due to the quality of the caratello wood, the quality of the grapes and the fermentation process are skillfully mixed in order to obtain a well-balanced product with a powerful sensory identity at the same time..."

Pairings and Serving Notes
Curato 2015 is an excellent accompaniment to pastry preparations, especially to traditional Tuscan Cantucci. These dry cookies are prepared with whole almonds and are literally soaked in Vin Santo. The "Cantucci and Vin Santo" are a great way to end dinner or enjoy a moment of relaxation. It is also ideal with typical Tuscan desserts such as Ricciarelli di Siena, Buccellato (a cake with raisins and aniseed) or the traditional castagnaccio. Out of the box, Curato can also be an excellent aperitif or be paired with blue cheeses such as sweet gorgonzola. Finally, Curato is also excellent as a meditation wine giving moments of great pleasure.

CURATO
THE LABEL
The light capsule and the soft background color of the label are designed to beautifully showcase the unique hue of Curato, which is clearly visible through the transparent glass bottle. This thoughtful choice highlights the wine’s distinct character right from the first glance, inviting the drinker to appreciate its visual appeal.
At the top of the label, a hot gold symbol of the moon commands attention, symbolizing mystery and elegance. For those who look more closely, the moon’s phases are subtly repeated at each of the four corners of the label, adding a layer of depth and symbolism that reflects the wine’s complex nature and its connection to natural cycles.
Beneath the name of the wine, accompanied by its geographical designation, lies a carefully crafted box of symbols. These are intricately arranged and framed by a fine gold thread, drawing the eye to the lower part where a reversed inscription in the style of Leonardo da Vinci is delicately displayed. This artistic detail speaks to the winery’s deep respect for history, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
( THE LABEL)
The colors of the symbols differ from those on the Arturo label, adopting warmer tones that echo the rich, chromatic complexity of the Curato wine itself. At the very base of the label, the winery’s name is elegantly printed in gold, reinforcing the premium quality and heritage that this wine represents.
il geniale motore della vite
La fotosintesi clorofilliana è il vero motore della vita sulla Terra. Le piante verdi sono in grado, partendo dall'acqua, dal sole, dai minerali del suolo e dall'anidride carbonica dell'atmosfera.
Dal risveglio vegetativo in primavera fino al periodo pre-vendemmiale, è nostro compito proteggere le foglie del vigneto, utilizzando prodotti e metodi esclusivamente biologici, contro gli attacchi di parassiti fungini e insetti per consentire la corretta maturazione dell'uva. Forse non è un caso che la foglia della vite sia presente nello stemma araldico di famiglia!
