Rosso -Toscana IGT
Vinification: The fruit was harvested at the beginning of October when it had attained just the right level of maturation. It was fermented on the skins and macerated for 15-18 days with frequent pumping over. Fermentation with cultured yeasts took place at a controlled temperature of 25°C and was completed in barriques.
Maturation: 9-12 months in new and once-used barriques. The wine was fined for over six months in bottles before its release on the market.
Wine: Deep, dark ruby red colour with bright purple lights; full, clearly defined, very elegant aromas led by notes of wild berry fruit jam and spices (vanilla, liquorice and cinnamon) with pleasant hints of mountain hay; dry, full, generous and austere palate, yet warm and velvety showing an aristocratic finish of ripe blackberry and resin that lingers at length.
Recommended storing: over 15 years in bottles stored horizontally in a cool, dark place
Serving suggestions: roasted or braised red meat, game, truffle dishes, mature cheeses
Servine temperature: 20 °C.
Interesting fact: This blend is named after the most famous work of Machiavelli, once the owner of the Fattoria di S.Andrea in Percussina
