Collection: Colorino

Colorino is an Italian grape variety that you will find first and foremost in Toscana. This is where we source the Colorino wines we carry, and the region forms the heart of the grape's history. The name alludes to the grape's deep, intense colour, and for precisely that reason Colorino has traditionally played a supporting role as a grape that lends colour and body to blends rather than appearing solo.

In Toscana, Colorino is closely tied to the local red wine traditions, where it often features alongside other grapes in a cuvée. Here it contributes colour and structure, and in that way it helps give the Tuscan wines their character. It is a grape that thrives in the Tuscan landscape and that has found its place in the region's wine culture over a long time.

With us, Colorino is a small but interesting chapter in the Italian range. Both of the wines we carry made from the grape come from Toscana, and they give you the chance to get acquainted with a variety that otherwise often hides in the background behind more well-known names. For you who would like to dig a little deeper into Italy's diversity of grapes, Colorino is a good occasion to explore something less familiar.

If you want to go exploring, you can take the grape's Tuscan roots as your starting point and use it as an entry to the region's broader palette of red wines. Colorino is a fine example of how a local grape can have great significance for the expression of a wine, even when it is not at the top of the label.
