Name: Borgo luce
Typology: Toscano rosso I.G.T.
Production: About 50.000 bottles
Grapevine: Pure 100% Tuscan Sangiovese
Area of cultivation: Heart of Tuscany
Vinification: "In rosso" the berries remain in contact with the juice during the alcoholic fermentation in order to extract tannins or to impart color contained in their skins to the wine. The pressing of the grapes follows.
Description: A great unblended Sangiovese is simply astonishing. After ten months of barrique is still incredibly fresh and pride of its own floral heritage, yet is the fruit core, the real deal. Helped by the oaking, has developed into a sour, hearty and balsamic blend that will never cease to surprise your palate with warm waves of licorice, pepper and violet all spiced with cinnamon stick perfectly mixed with a gentle tannin. The finish is cutting and persistent, actually making the wine subtle enough for tomato sauces, white and red meat and semi aged cheeses.
Serving suggestion: Should be served at 18-20C pouring ahead of time if possible.
