Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2024

Careful hand selection of the grapes and pips, using a sorting table. Gentle pressing and destemming of the grapes to avoid crushing the pips and excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature maintained around 26-28°C, without any addition of external yeast. The maceration period for this vintage was approximately 1013 days for the Merlot grapes and 13-16 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with frequent re-fermentation and destemming operations to obtain more balanced musts and to favor aromatic extraction. The malolactic fermentation, which began in early November, was also carried out entirely in steel vats.

In French oak barrels and, to a small extent, American oak for a period of 15 months.

Tasting notes: Intense ruby red color. On the nose, intense spicy notes emerge, linked to softer hints of cherry. On the palate, the attack is lively and intense, with a nice freshness and a decidedly agile finish. The tannin structure gives it structure and the finish is long and energetic.
