What prompted Enrico Fossi to plant a hectare of Gamay in Tuscany to make it a barricaded wine in purity? Usually Gamay is used on France to make it a light, unpretentious wine (the famous “Beaujolais nouveau”): in our situation we are talking about something completely different, a wine that makes at least 24 months in barrique, very different from the various “beaujolais”.
