Country: Italy / Governo All’Uso Toscano
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Melini / Chianti
This is a special wine that represents an antique and almost nonexistent winemaking practice in Tuscany today. A portion of the Sangiovese grapes are air dried, and the wine is refermented on the dried grapes. As result, it shows great intensity and dried aromas of cassis, prune and tobacco. Bright acidity pulls it together.
