Tenuta San Vito,  Poggio Alto, Toscana IGT, organic wine, red, 2018, from € 19.50

The Tenuta San Vito Poggio Alto is a magical and promising cuvée made from four Tuscan grape varieties that were harvested separately by hand, fermented separately and matured in barriques. The designation as IGT wine, i.e. country wine, is nothing derogatory in this case, but rather it indicates that two of the grape varieties used are real Tuscans, but are not approved for Chianti wine.

Profile:

• Color : dark ruby ​​red color.
• Nose : complex scents of red and black berries, fresh cherries, with floral accents and spicy notes.
• Palate : a wine with a full body, rich fruity fruity aromas of the autochthonous grape varieties, accompanied by fresh, pleasant tannins. Sustainable in taste

Organic wine production, Tenuta San Vito, Poggio Alto, Toscana IGT, red

The vineyards that provide the grapes for this wine have been organically farmed without chemicals for more than 35 years. You are surrounded by forest and there are no direct neighbors who could disturb the idyllic location of Tenuta San Vito.

The actual winemaking begins with the grape harvest, which is carried out manually or mechanically, depending on the location of the vineyards and the degree of ripeness of the various grape varieties. Mash fermentation lasts 10 to 15 days, during which the mash is pumped over several times a day. The red organic wine then matures for at least 12 months in Allier oak barrels and for several months in bottles before it is sold for the first time.
