Vinification of Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana IGT by Santa Cristina

For this beautiful red wine, the three grape varieties Sangiovese, 60%, Merlot and Syrah 20% each are harvested separately in different periods and vinified individually to bring out the full aroma, the smooth structure and the fine tannins. The fermentation takes place on the skins at a constant temperature, never higher than 25°C. After the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for one year before the Le Maestrelle is bottled.
