Piazza del Castello Rosso Toscana

Situated in the picturesque hills of Tuscany is the medieval town of Radda where an 11th century castle still stands today. Just beneath the tower is a quaint square called Piazza del Castello. The grapes for this SUPER TUSCAN grow in the sun-drenched hillside vineyards near this alluring place. A rich Italian wine, Piazza del Castello is meant to be shared with family and friends, and created to complement an Italian-style meal.
