Wine Description:

Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of San Gimignano, the Sangiovese grape thrives under the Tuscan sun, giving birth to a remarkable red wine. Embodying the essence of the region, this wine is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of San Gimignano.

A deep ruby red hue, evolving into garnet with age, sets the stage for a sensory journey. On the palate, it offers a dry, full-bodied experience, velvety smooth with well-structured tannins. Exhibiting aristocratic charm, it reveals hints of wood amidst the herbaceous notes, adding layers of complexity. The superior quality and structure of this wine pair exquisitely with Tuscan culinary delights. Whether indulging in hearty first courses or savoring succulent red meat dishes such as roast game, its versatility shines through. From wild boar and hare-infused sauces to vegetable soufflés and spicy aged cheeses, each dish finds its perfect match in this wine.

Area of Production:

Located in central Italy along the Tyrrhenian coast, Tuscany is home to some of the world's most notable wine regions. San Gimignano DOC is one of the most famous of Tuscany's Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) titles. The geographical region it indicates is, in short, San Gimignano.

San Gimignano DOC wines can be made only in the village of San Gimignano.

Grapes:

Sangiovese is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. It is the key grape in most of the best red wines of Tuscany. Sangiovese has been grown in central Italy for generations, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought. The quality of Sangiovese wine can be notoriously variable. But, in the 1980s, drastically improved winemaking techniques saw a significant shift toward more quality-oriented releases. Led by the so-called "Super Tuscans", the Toscana IGT category allows winemakers more freedom to blend indigenous Italian grapes (principally Sangiovese) with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.
