IGT Toscana Rosso
No sulfites added

10,00 

Our NUDO is produced completely with Sangiovese grapes and we don’t add any sulfites during the process. The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September when the polyphenols are completely ripe. We select only the perfect bunches and we ferment the wine without any yeasts or fermentation activator. Once bottled, this sulfite-free wine will gain maturation which will lead to a natural evolution of taste and aroma.

Description

Composition: wine produced with Sangiovese grapes.

Soil: Pebbly soil, of marly calcareous nature, formed in the alluvial phase of the river Elsa in the upper Pliocene, about 3 million years ago. This type of soil gives wines rich in body but very balanced.

Training Method: in the vineyards we use the technique of Gouyot, with a density of approximately 5.000 plants per hectare.

Harvest period: the grapes are harvested by hand, usually around the end of September.

Wine Making and Aging: During the fermentation period which occurs at a controlled temperature of approximately 24/26 deg., a soft pressing are performed to gently extract the polyphenols from the grape skins. Fermentation lasts around 10 days. Aging is in steel tanks for about 5-7 months.

Tasting notes: ruby red color, dense and consistent. Intense and persistent aroma with fruity hints and floral notes. Warm, soft, fruity taste, with soft tannins in continuous natural evolution.

Comments: balanced wine which is at its best from 2/4 years after harvesting.

Food pairings: This wine goes well with any type of food but it is at its best served with all meat second courses , from grilled meat, red or white, to roasts. The tannin in the wine contrasts well with the succulence of the meat, while the alcohol cleans the palate of its fats and strong taste of the meat.
