Description
The Toscana IGT Governo all'Uso Toscano Gano pays tribute to the character of Gano, "the tough guy from San Frediano," made famous by the radio broadcast "Il Grillo Canterino" that aired in the 1960s on Radio Firenze. Gano was portrayed as a neighborhood bully, a boastful and vain individual, but he often ended up being ridiculed. The expression "fare l'Gano" has become part of the Florentine language, indicating a boastful or exaggerated behavior.
Gano is made from Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. In a selected part of the chosen vineyards, the grapes are left to dry for a longer period. Once the primary fermentation is completed, the dried grapes are gently pressed and added to the wine, inducing a second fermentation usually lasting 2-3 weeks.
This wine presents floral and fruity notes, with fresh hints of cherry, and is elegant on the palate, with pleasant spicy nuances. The finish is smooth and bright.
Perfect paired with dishes like wild boar ragù pasta, game meats, and aged cheeses.
