2006 Toscana Rosso IGT Santa Cristina

Award winning wine:


Tasting Notes
Ruby red in colour; on the nose, intense bouquet of mature fruits; on the palate well structured, harmonious, soft and sweet tannins.

Winemaking Notes
90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
After destemming and soft crushing of the grapes, maceration took place in stainless steel tanks for about one week, during which time the wine completed its alcoholic fermentation at a temperature kept below 25 °C. The wine was racked and, after completing its malolactic fermentation by the end of January, was aged, partly in large traditional Slavonian oak casks of various capacities, and partly in stainless steel tanks, for four months, followed by bottling.
