Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the gentleness of the Tuscan hills, the sun caressing the vines, and that feeling of finding a gem, a wine that speaks to you without pretense. That's exactly what I felt when discovering the Sangiovese IGT Toscana "San Brizzi" from Azienda Dinagiovanni.
Nestled in the heart of Badia a Passignano, in the charming municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle, the Dinagiovanni estate passionately cultivates this Sangiovese. It is here, on this blessed Tuscan land, that the king of grape varieties expresses itself with remarkable frankness. This wine is the fruit of a manual harvest and a meticulous selection of the grape clusters, a guarantee of quality and respect for the fruit.
In your glass, the "San Brizzi" reveals itself with a ruby color of medium intensity, already promising lovely freshness. On the nose, you will be charmed by its aromas of fresh red fruits: cherry and plum mingle with small red berries, enhanced by delicate notes of violet and light spices. It is a bouquet that evokes the elegant simplicity of the Tuscan landscapes. On the palate, this Sangiovese offers lovely liveliness thanks to its balanced acidity and moderate tannins that give it a pleasant structure and beautiful fluidity. It has aged for 36 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a subtle complexity without masking its fruity character.
This wine is an invitation to conviviality, perfect for those simple but precious moments. I recommend it to accompany pasta in sauce, grilled white meats, or a platter of charcuterie and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it between 16 and 18 °C so that it fully reveals its aromas and balance. It is a wine that is drunk with pleasure, without frills, and that will transport you directly under the Tuscan sun, for the duration of a meal.
