Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to a discovery that particularly touched me: the Francesca Romana IGT from the Cantina Terenzi estate. This wine is a true immersion into the spirit of Tuscan Maremma, a subtle balance between tradition and innovation that will surprise you.
It is in Scansano, in the heart of this so singular Maremma, that the Terenzi family crafts this wine. The Francesca Romana IGT 2017 is the fruit of a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, grape varieties that find a unique expression here. Vinification is carried out with care: fermentation in stainless steel vats at 28-30°C for 15 days, followed by maceration on the skins and malolactic fermentation. This meticulous process is the promise of great complexity.
In your glass, this wine reveals itself with a deep, brilliant red robe, a visual invitation to tasting. On the nose, you will be charmed by seductive notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, intermingled with delicately spicy accents and a light touch of vanilla. This aromatic complexity is enriched by nuances of Mediterranean herbs and damp earth, a true olfactory stroll. On the palate, the Francesca Romana is vigorously balanced. It presents a solid yet harmonious structure, with well-integrated tannins and a persistent freshness that enhances its drinkability. Its velvety texture and its long, pleasantly aromatic finish testify to the quality of the grapes and the vinification.
To accompany this Francesca Romana IGT, I suggest you turn to the authentic flavors of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a hearty zuppe, grilled meats (carni alla brace) or roasted (arrosti), or even a game dish (cacciagione). Its structure and aromas will also pair marvelously with aged cheeses. This wine is an invitation to share a warm, convivial moment, a parenthesis of taste that will transport you straight to Tuscany. Serve it at 18°C to appreciate all its nuances and let yourself be carried away by this authentic expression of the Maremma land.
