Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll beneath a generous sun. This wine, the Insoglio del Cinghiale from Campo di Sasso, is an invitation to that sensory journey, an authentic expression of its terroir. It embodies that rustic elegance I so cherish in the discoveries of my hidden Tuscany.
It is in Montalcino, land blessed by the wine gods, that the Campo di Sasso estate crafts this Toscana IGT. A name that already evokes the strength and typicity of this region. This wine is the fruit of a harmonious blend of emblematic grape varieties: Sangiovese, the pillar of Tuscan viticulture, to which Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are added. This combination gives the Insoglio del Cinghiale a structure and balance that you will appreciate.
During your tasting, you will first be charmed by its deep, intense red color. On the nose, paths of ripe red fruits offer themselves to you, evoking juicy cherry and fleshy plum. These aromas are delicately interwoven with spicy and earthy nuances, like an echo of the Mediterranean garrigue that borders the vineyards. On the palate, this wine reveals itself as full-bodied, with supple tannins that caress the palate and a pleasant freshness that invites the next sip. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by extended maceration, then 12 to 18 months of aging in oak barrels, give it this complexity and depth.
This wine is an ideal companion for robust and flavorful dishes. I recommend it with roasted red meats, a fine cut of game, or aged cheeses. Imagine an evening with friends, a dish simmered with love, and this glass of Insoglio del Cinghiale that perfects the moment. It is a multisensory experience that celebrates the sincere soul of Tuscany, a true journey through the flavors and scents of a generous and alluring land. Let yourself be tempted by this gem, you will not regret it.
