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.
