  • Sangiovese Toscana IGT

    GRAPES: 100% SangioveseYIELD: 8.5 tonnes of grapes per hectare.POSITION OF THE VINEYARDS:Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena). CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VINEYARDS:The vineyards are 15/20 years old, situated on hillsides with excellent exposure to the sun and main winds, in order to avoid dampness from pooling. The training system mainly used is the spurred cordon, managed with frequent and very careful tending. The grapes are usually harvested in the middle of September.MATURING:A short time in steel during the winter allows malo-lactic fermentation to take place and this is followed by the stabilisation operations that make the wine ready for bottling in the spring after harvesting.ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:Testimony of the immense versatility of the Sangiovese grape, the wine has a ruby red colour with evident purplish hues when young, tending to become more austere as it ages. The wine presents clear, well-dened perfumes in the nose, reminiscent of fruity and oral notes, and these too constantly evolve in the bottle. Smooth and pleasant in the mouth, with evident sensations of red berries and a surprising persistency. ALCOHOL CONTENT: 13% vol.SERVING SUGGESTIONS:Traditional Tuscan starters and rst courses.
