From the vinification of 100% autochthonous grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon. The origin is the classic one of Tuscany. The vinification provides that the grapes, after harvesting, which always takes place in the last half of October, ferment in controlled stainless steel tanks, also performing malolactic fermentation. Then we move on to the phase of aging, in which the wine rests in barrique, new to 50%, for a period of between 24 and 30 months.
I SODI DI SAN NICCOLO''s features
The wine shows an intense ruby red color. The aroma has a great olfactory concentration, thanks to the presence of a ripe red fruit that leads back to hints of jam, but also spices, vanilla and licorice. The taste in the mouth is that of the wine characterized by a dense and elegant texture, also supported by the important acidity of Sangiovese, the tannins are absolutely sweet and the finish long and of great persistence.
