Villa Puccini Toscana Rosso, 2017

Maritime influences and special soil - consisting of clay, limestone and gravel - impart a notable softness to the fruit in hillside areas. The wine starts with ripe, coastal fruit hand selected from a diverse set of vineyard blocks creating a balance of complexity, elegance and fullness.  It is then patiently aged and refined; both in large and small oak casks from Slovenia and from France for about 1 year.  Six months of bottle aging takes place before this carefully made red wine is released.  Bright ruby color.  Gentle, harmonious, with cherry, plum fruit notes. Oak on the finish.  90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot. Ideal with all Mediterranean dishes, roast, game meat and spicy cheese. Tuscany, Italy
