San Brunone Super Tuscan
IGT Toscana Sangiovese
Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot
Vineyard: owned in the past by the Carthusian monastery.
Situated at 300-350 meters above the sea level, south-southwest facing, this vineyard supports a regular and optimal aging of the grapes.
The soil has a sandstone structure, with mixed Galestro marl and Alberese limestone.
Wine-making: fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature lower than 27°C for 15 to 20 days, which is the average suitable time to extract from the skin colors, polyphenols and tannins.
After the alcoholic fermentation, wine is moved to cement-vitrified tanks for the second fermentation until the malic acid gets totally exhausted.
Only at this moment, the wine will be ready for aging in oak barrels.
Aging: 12 months in French barriques and tonneaux
Refining: minimum of 6 months in bottle for before merchandising.
Serving temperature: 18°C – 64.4 °F
Color: quite deep ruby red, tending to garnet with aging
Bouquet: very intense and complex, light blackberry fruit notes, with earthy and spicy hints.
Flavor: powerful, warm, smooth and well balanced, with rich, soft tannins and long-lasting exceptional finish.
Serving Suggestions: Meditation wine, perfect pairing with seasoned cheese or with a typical sweet cake from Siena Panpepato (a kind of gingerbread).
