PREZIOSATERRA IGT TOSCANA

Tenuta Montecchiesi

Denomination

Rosso Toscana IGT
Description

The name of this wine, ’precious land’, emphasises how precious our land is to us! A wine in which the typicality of Tuscany is combined with Sangiovese, with the grape variety par excellence in Cortona, Syrah. Spicy notes intertwine with fruity notes, all pleasantly softened by a slight refinement in wood.
Vinification

After the traditional hand-harvesting, with each grape variety kept separate, the berries macerate for 18 days. The must begins fermenting at 20°C and reaches 27°C at pressing-off; malolactic follows in stainless steel.
Maturation

Six months in once- and twice-used French-oak barrels and larger casks, followed by bottle-ageing.
Sensory profile

Appears an intense ruby red. The bouquet releases fragrances of ripe fruit, with dried plum and cherry backed by hints of spice. Well-rounded and smooth on the palate, it exhibits superb depth and weight, and a delicious, full-flavoured finish.
Serving suggestions

The wine’s richness and supple tannins make it a fine partner to roasts and grilled meat and game, as well as aged cheeses.
