Rosso Toscana Rivale

Rosso Toscana IGT

Sangiovese grosso, vinification in stainless steel tanks for 20 days. Aging only in steel for 8 months and subsequent bottling for marketing. A bright and lively ruby red, with purple reflections. The nose focuses on the vivacity of the red fruit, characteristic of the grape: cherry, red plum and black cherry, blend with hints of violet and rose. In the mouth it is fresh, savory, elegant and fruity. The tannins are gentle and well integrated and leave room for a juicy drink.
