Stilnovo Governo all’Uso Toscano 2015

Made from Sangiovese grapes using the ancient Governo method. Some 70% of the grapes were picked in mid-September and then fermented normally while the remaining 30% was allowed to raisinate on racks until late autumn after which their juice was added to initiate a second fermentation. In December, 20% of the wine was placed to age in used barriques and in March re-blended with the rest of the wine to then age in stainless steel before bottling. The result is a wine with a ruby color and an intense and grapey aroma with notes of strawberry, black cherry and wild berries together with sensations of licorice and super-ripe tones. The mouthfeel is full with a nice acidic backbone and is rounded, soft and flavorful even if simple. Wonderfully drinkable. Serve slightly chilled, around 16°C.
