Antinori Santa Cristina Toscana IGT
Santa Cristina offers a red colour with purple highlights. The nose shows notes of ripe cherries, typical aromas both of Sangiovese and of Syrah well integrated with the balsamic sensation of mint which characterize merlot. Pleasurable sensations of vanilla and coffee complete the bouquet. The palate is soft and ample with a fruity finish and aftertaste. The grape varieties were fermented separately. After destemming and a soft pressing, the grapes were macerated on their skins for approximately one week in stainless steel tanks. During this phase, the wine finished its fermentation at a temperature held to a maximum of 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees centigrade). The wine was then racked and terminated its malolactic fermentation by the end of the year. The wine aged for a few months in small oak barrels and began to be bottled in November of 2018. Antinori is a name synonymous with wine in Italy, the equivalent of the royal family of wine in the country. Intimately involved in the wine industry of Italy since 1385, initially in Tuscany, but in more recent years their influence has grown seeing them involved in wine-making projects across the country. They were instrumental in the renaissance of Chianti and their portfolio of wines includes some stellar names such as Tignanello - the Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc blend that was most influential in the Super Tuscan movement, Solaia - the Cabernet dominant blend also from the Tignanello Estate and the beautiful Peppoli Chianti Classico.
PICCINI SOLCO TOSCANA APPASSITE
Wine Making Process - The leggero appassimento (light drying) technique consists in reducing the water present in the grape. Dehydration produces an increase in the sugar content of the grape. The resulting wine exhibits exuberant hints of red fruits and a complex and elegant tannic texture. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a soft pressing, followed by maceration at a controlled temperature. Once fermentation is complete, the wine rests in stainless steel vats before completing its maturation in the bottle. Colour - Solco catches the eye with its intense red, enriched with precious purple shades. Bouquet - The nose reveals unmistakable aromas of red fruits, among which cherry and black cherry stand out, wrapped in the gentle embrace of sweet spices. Flavour -A full body wine that never loses its refined elegance. The silky tannic texture offers the palate a pleasant sensation of softness with a long and persistent finish. Recommended With - It goes perfectly with roasts, red meats, game and cheeses. Serving Temperature - 18 – 20 degrees C.
