Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll endlessly. That is where Bertinga's Toscana Rosso IGT Sassi Chiusi comes from, a wine that whispers the history and passion of its land. I invite you to discover this gem, the fruit of a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
The Bertinga estate, nestled in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of the province of Siena, is a place where winemaking is a matter of heart and know-how. This globally renowned region offers a unique terroir that gives its wines distinctive characteristics. Sassi Chiusi is a true expression of this land, a tribute to the richness of Tuscany.
This Toscana Rosso IGT is crafted from a harmonious blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot. Vinification is carried out with care, each grape variety fermenting separately in steel tanks and concrete vats. Aging continues for about 12 months in steel, concrete and third-passage barriques, followed by bottle refinement. This method gives the wine remarkable structure and complexity.
When you pour this wine, you are first struck by its color, a deep and intense ruby red that already promises a fine tasting. On the nose, generous notes of ripe red fruits are revealed, with cherry and plum leading, subtly interwoven with spicy touches, light vanilla and a hint of chocolate, a legacy of its time in barrique. On the palate, Sassi Chiusi shows itself ample and enveloping. The flavors of red fruits elegantly blend with nuances of aromatic herbs and wet earth, typical of the Tuscan terroir. The balance between acidity and alcohol is masterful, offering harmonious persistence with each sip.
This wine is an ideal companion for moments of sharing and pleasure. I particularly recommend it with rich dishes: grilled red meats, simmered game or aged cheeses. Also imagine it with pasta accompanied by meat or game-based sauces, it will enhance every bite. Bertinga's Toscana Rosso IGT Sassi Chiusi is more than a wine; it is an invitation to discovery, a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany. Offer it or savor it on special occasions, it will delight the most demanding palates and lovers of authentic flavors.
