What type of wine is it

The Maremma Toscana Sangiovese produced by Sassoregale is a red wine with a smooth and structured character, made from the renowned native grape variety. It delivers a full and assertive sip thanks to meticulous winemaking. After maceration and malolactic fermentation, aging in small oak barrels gives it a well-defined texture.

Where does it come from

This wine originates in the Maremma in Tuscany, a land of unspoiled nature that profoundly shapes its viticulture. The region offers a direct and energetic expression to the Sangiovese grapes. The bottle's identity reflects the soul of its homeland and ensures an intense impression and confident character typical of the area.

How is it made

The grapes undergo traditional red vinification with careful maceration on the skins, designed to extract the right structure. Once complete, the wine goes through malolactic fermentation to mellow the acidity and create a rounder profile. It is then transferred to oak barrels, which lend additional harmony and body.

Tasting notes

On the nose it offers the grape’s typical aromas, with crisp hints of marasca cherry and wild berries, enriched by pleasant spicy nuances on the finish. The palate is full and bold, with a vibrant energy that leads to a finish marked by lasting continuity.

Food pairings

It naturally complements grilled meats, as its structure offers balance to the intense flavors of grilling. It also pairs very well with a platter of mixed cured meats and Tuscan pecorinos, enhancing their typical savory character. It is an excellent choice for Florentine steak and rustic local dishes.

When to serve

This wine enhances convivial moments and is the ideal choice for those seeking a full-bodied drink and a distinct character at the table. It shines during casual lunches and dinners, especially when the menu features roasts or cheese. Its character also makes it a trusty companion for outdoor barbecues with friends.
