Vigneto La Casuccia was founded in 1985 as the first blend resulting from the separate harvesting of three parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot, produced in a very limited quantity only in the best vintages.
Fermentation induced by indigenous yeasts, separated by variety in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 30° and 33°C, with manual remountings with a total maceration (cuvaison) of 27 days for Il Sangiovese and 25 days for Merlot. After the fermentation, the wine was transferred to barriques to undergo malolactic fermentation.
14 months in oak barrels (40% new, 60% second-pass)
Tasting notes: Rich ruby red color. On the nose it opens with fruity notes of wild cherry, enriched with hints of licorice, tobacco and mint. On the palate it is rich and elegant, with excellent balance and well-integrated tannins.
