The Story
Still red wine from Tuscany IGT, 14.5% ABV, produced by La Spinetta. Blend: 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino. 0.75L bottle, 2011 vintage. A wine born from the Rivetti brothers' passion for Tuscany, combining the power of Sangiovese with the finesse of Colorino. Alcoholic fermentation for 7-8 days in temperature-controlled rotofermenters. Malolactic fermentation in barriques. Aged in new medium-toasted French oak barrels for 12-14 months. After aging, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks for approximately 3 months and then bottled, followed by 3-4 months of bottle aging. Aromas of ripe berries, vanilla, and coffee blend into a very intense ruby red. Full-bodied, rich, and clean, with sweet tannins well-integrated with the oak, and a lingering finish that invites further tasting.
