Toscana IGT Romitorio di Santedame 2007 Ruffino

The Toscana Rosso Romitorio Santedame di Ruffino was born in the vineyards located on the Santedame estate, near Castellina in Chianti.

It is produced 60% with Colorino grapes and 40% with Merlot grapes. The harvest began in late September for Merlot and ended in mid-October with Colorino. Fermentation takes place separately for the two varieties, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C for about 15 days. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques for about 18 months, before being bottled.

The Romitorio di Santadame is characterized by an intense ruby red color, with violet reflections. The nose opens with an intensely fruity and fragrant bouquet, with hints of blueberry and black currant, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate it results with an important and elegant structure. The wine has a pleasant roundness which is balanced by very present but equally integrated tannins, all sealed by an important acid thorn. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste of black fruits, spices and coffee.

Perfect to accompany red and white meats, it is ideal in combination with game.
