This red wine from Cantina Vignaioli Scansano is made from predominantly Sangiovese grapes and is a modern interpretation of the Tuscan technique known as Governo: a method of vinification used in the production of Chianti wines that requires a second, slower fermentation. The grapes are harvested between mid-September and early October: the Sangiovese grapes are picked by hand into small perforated crates and left to dry in cells so that they lose 15% of their weight. This is followed by low-temperature vinification with maceration on the skins for 4-6 days, then racking and completion of fermentation. After 4 weeks of drying, the Ciliegiolo grapes are pressed and, once fermentation is complete, the Sangiovese is added. Maturation takes place in steel for three months with the fine lees.
