Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a Tuscan gem, a wine that captures the very essence of a still unspoiled region. The Florilegio from Cerreto Piano is not just a simple red, it is an invitation to explore Maremma, its scents and its sunny character.
In the southwest of Tuscany, where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets gentle hills and exuberant nature, lies Maremma Toscana. It is in this vibrant terroir that the Cerreto Piano estate gives birth to its Maremma Toscana Rosso DOC. Although the estate's precise history remains discreet, its commitment to tradition and the purity of the fruit is palpable in every sip.
The Florilegio 2019 is a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, complemented by Merlot and Syrah. The vinification is carried out with care: fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 27°-28°C for seven days. This process extracts the aromas and color while respecting the integrity of the fruit. After this step, the wine continues its aging in steel before spending three months in the bottle, giving it time to blossom and round out its edges.
Visually, this wine displays an intense ruby red robe, which already promises beautiful depth. On the nose, you will be charmed by an intriguing bouquet: ripe red fruits dominate, married with delicate notes of vanilla. Touches of aromatic herbs evoke the Mediterranean garrigue, while soft spices and a hint of tobacco, inherited from judicious use of wood, add complexity to the whole. On the palate, the Florilegio reveals itself structured and full. You will appreciate its balance between beautiful acidity and silky, well-integrated tannins. The aromatic persistence on the finish is remarkable, leaving you with a pleasant sensation that calls for another glass.
This Maremma Toscana Rosso DOC is an ideal companion for convivial meals. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, a flavorful roast or simmered game. It will also elevate a platter of aged cheeses, where its polished tannins and fruity aromas will find a perfect echo. But do not limit yourself to these classic pairings; this wine is also a marvel to enjoy on its own, on an autumn evening, for a moment of pure meditation. Let yourself be carried away by the generosity of Maremma, glass in hand, and discover a wine that, like Tuscany itself, has so much to tell.
