Lamaione Toscana IGT 2015 - Tenuta di Castelgiocondo
The Lamaione Toscana IGT from Tenuta di Castelgiocondo by Frescobaldi once again brings to the forefront what the Marchesi de 'Frescobaldi have done for Italian winegrowing. An Italian top Merlot - a synonym for great wine.
In the glass the Lamaione presents itself in a rich purple and beautiful dense color. On the nose appear first fruit aromas of blackberry and blueberry, then clove, black pepper, chocolate, a slightly balsamic note of eucalyptus and thyme. On the palate, this unique Merlot from Tuscany is warm, soft and round, with dense and silky structure and rich tannins. In the taste the aromas intensify to a long and persistent finish.
Making of the Lamaione Toscana IGT by Frescobaldi
This red top-cru is vinified from Merlot grapes grown in the Lamaione vineyard of the CastelGiocondo Estate. After the mashing and the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, 90% new and 10% in second turn, followed by the maturation for 12 months in the bottle.
Food pairing for the Lamaione Toscana IGT by Frescobaldi
Enjoy this Tuscan red wine with wild boar or as an ideal partner for hard, mature cheese varieties, dishes with pork, roasted directly in the wine or braised.
