Fontella Sangiovese Di Toscana IGT, 2020

GRAPES: 100% Sangiovese

VINEYARD: Selected vineyards near the Castel del Monte area north of Bari in central Puglia.

HARVEST: Late September/early October

VINIFICATION: Grapes are de-stemmed and soft crushed, with very careful remontage in the early stage of fermentation for best extraction of colour and soft tannins. Fermentation is in stainless steel at a controlled temperature not exceeding 28°C. The juice remains in contact with the skins for a total of 10 days. There is no wood ageing.

ALCOHOL: 12.5% vol

TASTING NOTES: Fontella Sangiovese di Puglia – a very intense ruby red, and a typical cherry Sangiovese bouquet. Extremely ripe fruit, reminiscent of crushed cherries hits the palate. This wine is perfectly balanced, lively, rich and luscious, with a long complex finish. Try it with robust pasta dishes and pizza.
