SAN BRUNONE Super Tuscan 2015 Losi Querciavalle
Reference: LQSBST15
Produced from a special selection of Tuscan Sangiovese and a small percentage of Merlot, carefully grown by the Losi family in its vineyards, San Brunone expresses its strong and full body character, also due to a careful monitoring for an optimal aging.
The name recalls the founder of the Carthusian monk order, who while travelling to Rome, spent some time in the countryside near Siena and founded the Carthusian monastery of Pontignano.

IGT Toscana Sangiovese
Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot

Only at this moment, the wine will be ready for aging in oak barrels.
Aging: 12 months in French barriques and tonneaux

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).
