A Black Rooster in Tenuta Torciano Field

A BLACK ROOSTER IN THE TENUTA TORCIANO FIELD!

In this article we would like to reflect on the close and precious relationship  that exists between animals and the wine and why, Tenuta Torciano, can’t miss these loving friends.

1. GALLO NERO / BLACK ROOSTER 

A Black Rooster in the field is the image that for centuries has linked the Chianti Classico wine production area.

The black rooster was the symbol of the Lega del Chianti, a military political institution created by the Republic of Florence to control the territory of CHIANTI at the end of the 1300s.

Now all over the wine world you are accustomed to accommodate different animals inside the vineyards: this does not happen simply because they are a pleasant company, but especially for the fact that proved to be, with the course of the years of good resources for the protection and care of the vineyards: it is the case of the sheep and pigs, that feeding of weeds ensure growth and luxuriant undisturbed trestles;

Also the dwarf sheep together with the pigs are excellent to uproot the weeds, but above all, thanks to their low stature, fail to reach the grapes and therefore to food; dogs are needed to safeguard the sheep while the chickens and ducks, as for example our ducks mandarine or our chickens Wyandotte, are efficient in the elimination of insects and parasites that could damage the screws.

2. Pets: friends of wine tasting in cellar
