Product details
Toscana IGT Al Passo 2014 Tolaini
Description
Tuscany Al Passo di Tolaini was born in vineyards located in the Sienese municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in Tuscany.
It is mainly produced with Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and wood tanks at controlled temperature, with maceration in contact with the skins for 20-25 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels and in truncated conical wooden tanks. A further 12-month refinement period in the bottle follows.
It is characterized by an intense ruby red color, with a nail tending to garnet with aging. The nose opens with evident hints of red fruits, enriched with notes of licorice, vanilla and black pepper. On the palate it is full-bodied, with soft tannins and a rich and spicy aftertaste.
Perfect to accompany first courses and second courses based on red meats, this wine is ideal in combination with medium-aged cheeses.
