Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover Maremma, that wild and authentic land of Tuscany, through a wine that captures its essence. This Rosso DOC from Tenuta L'Impostino is a gem, a sincere reflection of a terroir worth discovering.
Nestled in Civitella Paganico, in the heart of Maremma Grossetana, the Tenuta L'Impostino estate cultivates its vines with passion. This wine, from the Cerretina Vineyard, is a harmonious blend of 60% Sangiovese, Tuscany's emblematic grape variety, and 40% Alicante. The harvest is manual, a guarantee of respect for the fruit. Fermentation takes place over 10 to 12 days at 26°C, followed by maceration of the same duration, with selected yeasts and malolactic fermentation.
In your glass, you will be charmed by its ruby color of medium intensity, bright and engaging. On the nose, this wine reveals aromas of ripe red fruits and small black berries, such as cherry and blackberry, enhanced by floral notes of violet. A subtle spicy touch blends with Mediterranean accents of aromatic herbs and light earthy sensations. It is a frank and direct bouquet, of beautiful complexity. On the palate, it offers a medium to full body, a fine balance between freshness and structure. The tannins, present but ripe, support the tasting. The aromatic palette perceived on the nose is found on the palate, supported by moderate sapidity. The finish is clean and persistent, an invitation to pour yourself another glass.
This Maremma Toscana Rosso DOC is a highly versatile wine. It will pair wonderfully with your cold cuts and medium-aged cheeses, but also with more structured primi piatti, such as a good ragù. Think of white meats and barbecues for perfect pairings. I recommend serving it at around 16-18°C; a few minutes in a decanter will help it reveal all its aromatic richness. It is the perfect wine for a convivial evening, an authentic discovery of Tuscany to share.
