Production of the Sangiovese VSF 1.5l Magnum - Sacchetto

The grapes for the Sangiovese VSF 1.5l Magnum - Sacchetto come from selected sites in Veneto. The climate here is characterized by marked temperature differences between day and night. Warm days promote the ripening of the Sangiovese grapes, while cooler nights preserve the freshness and clarity of the fruit. This combination gives the wine its lively aromatics and balanced structure. The region’s soils consist of a mixture of sandy and partly clay-rich layers, lending the wine finesse and delicate spice.

The grapes are harvested carefully to ensure that only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated fruit reaches the cellar. Careful selection ensures that the berries fully express their varietal character. After arriving at the winery, the grapes undergo a gentle period of skin contact, during which the color and aromatic compounds pass from the skins into the must. Fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions, preserving the fresh fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry.

The wine is matured primarily in stainless steel tanks. This keeps the focus clearly on the grape variety and its fruity personality. The wine shows no dominant oak aromas, instead offering a pure, unadulterated interpretation of Sangiovese. After a resting period in the tank, the tannins, acidity and fruit harmonize before the wine is bottled in the large 1.5-liter Magnum. The Magnum format supports slower development and ensures особое elegance during later enjoyment.

The Sacchetto estate’s style is characterized by precision, clarity and drinkability. Tradition combines with modern cellar techniques to present the grape variety’s character transparently. Instead of opulent weight, the result is a red wine with fresh fruit, delicate spice and invigorating structure. This makes the wine versatile and a stylish companion for numerous occasions.

The wine also shows great potential with lighter yet hearty dishes. Grilled poultry, spicy pizza with salami, lasagna or cheese-topped casseroles make very fitting pairings with the Sangiovese. Its light, velvety texture is an excellent match for dishes with a moderate fat content without feeling heavy. Cheese lovers can serve it with medium-aged hard cheeses or semi-firm cheeses with nutty aromas.

The wine is equally suited to a casual barbecue evening or a multi-course menu featuring Italian cuisine. As a gift for wine enthusiasts, the Magnum bottle also makes a special gesture.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature of approximately 16 to 18 degrees Celsius is recommended. At this temperature, the fruit, spice and structure unfold in particularly balanced fashion. A classic red wine glass brings out the aromas of cherry, raspberry and herbs to best effect.

The bottles are ideally stored lying down in a cool, dark place with as constant a temperature as possible. This helps the wine retain its character in the Magnum bottle over a longer period. A slightly matured bottle reveals even more harmonious contours and a particularly smooth texture. Opening the bottle in good time before serving allows the aromas to develop fully.
