Vinification and aging: A selection of high quality grapes are laid out to dry. Meanwhile, other Sangiovese grapes are de-stemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation, lasting about 15 days, takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of around 25 ° C to enhance the aromatic expression and preserve the fruity and floral notes. Once the drying is complete, the dried grapes are softly pressed and the resulting must is added to the wine obtained during the first fermentation, thus starting the second fermentation. This process is called “Governo”, an old Tuscan tradition. After racking the wine completed malolactic fermentation and it was aged at the I Colli estate prior to bottling.
Tasting notes: Intense ruby-red in color. An elegant bouquet with intense dried fruit aromas and floral hints. The “Governo” grants the wine a round palate, a full taste. Well-structured, soft and harmonious, a great return to a wonderful tradition.
