What kind of wine is it

Celeo is a red wine produced by Fertuna in the Toscana denomination. It is born from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Tuscan Maremma. It stands out for its aging in barrique, which defines a structured and enveloping profile. It results in an oenological expression with a warm and powerful character, with balanced tannins and a sip of excellent length, ideal for hearty meals.

Where it comes from

The grapes destined for this wine come from the Tuscan Maremma, a territory that brings a solid identity to the Toscana denomination. The influence of the Maremma climate ensures an intense gustatory presence, perfectly in line with the winery's style. The territorial identity is expressed through rigorous selection of the clusters, which is able to convey the essence of this renowned winegrowing area.

How it is produced

After careful harvest, the clusters are pressed and started on a traditional vinification. At the end of the fermentation process, the wine is transferred to wood for 12 months of maturation. The use of barrique completes the balance of the structure and supports the development of aroma, thus favoring the integration of the tannic weave without altering the natural fruit expression.

On the palate, the taste reveals a warm and powerful character, supported by remarkable progression. The persistent finish keeps the intensity of the sip alive and leaves a perfect structural balance.

Food pairings

Thanks to its complex texture, this red is particularly suitable for red meat dishes and various game-based preparations. Its structure fully supports intensely flavored dishes and balances their succulence. Together with stewed game, it creates a harmonious pairing that enhances the persistence and aromatic imprint of the meal.

When to serve

It is the ideal choice for occasions when you want to enjoy a red wine with a warm and powerful profile. It is suitable for lunches and dinners focused on bold courses, as it maintains a strong presence on the palate. The care taken in production delivers a defined and complete drinking experience, making this bottle an excellent companion to important convivial moments with understated elegance.
