Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana IGT 1,5 l Magnum 2018 - Santa Cristina

The Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana IGT by Santa Cristina shines in dense dark ruby red with violet reflections in the glass. On the nose, an intense and complex bouquet unfolds with aromas of ripe berries, typical of the Sangiovese and Syrah grape varieties, and with notes of mint, typical of Merlot grapes. On the palate, this modern terroir wine is balanced, equipped with elegant tannins, tastefully dry, soft and supple, the finish is complex and reminiscent of the fragrances from the bouquet.

Vinification of the Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana IGT of Santa Cristina

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