Solenida of Podernovo Sangiovese Costa Toscana IGT - Tenuta Podernovo

In the glass, the organically produced Solenida of Podernovo Sangiovese Costa Toscana from Tenuta Podernovo reveals a dense ruby-red color. With a slight tilt, the red wine glass shows a charming garnet-red hue at the rim. Swirling the glass, this red wine displays high viscosity, visible in pronounced church windows on the glass wall. The bouquet of this Tuscan red wine impresses with aromas of sour cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry. It is precisely its fruit-driven character that makes this wine so special.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the icon-wine segment, this Italian, despite all its dryness, enchants with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety. On the finish, this matured red wine from the Tuscan winegrowing region impresses with remarkable length. Once again, hints of blackberry and blackcurrant appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the sand- and clay-dominated soils join in.
