This Brunello di Montalcino "La Casaccia" from the Tuscan Winery Canalicchio di Sopra is a company cru produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the homonymous hill. After the manual harvest, the grapes are pressed and fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature; maceration on the skins follows for about 25 days; subsequently the wine goes into oak barrels for a period of 3 years.
Characteristics of this Tuscan wine
Upon organoleptic examination this Tuscan wine shows a bright ruby red color; on the nose the finesse and depth emerge immediately with hints of small red fruit and flowers, ending with spicy aromas of licorice and aromatic herbs. The tannin is elegant and fine and the persistence is very long.
Suggested food pairings while tasting this Tuscan wine
Perfect wine with both grilled and stewed red meats; try it with blue cheeses and mushroom risotto too. To be served at a temperature of 16-18 ° C in a not very large glass.
