Col di Sasso
Toscana IGT
2023
VARIETIES
Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon
DESCRIPTION
A perfect mix of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that gives life to an
immediate and extremely versatile wine.
The winter was mild, with temperatures slightly above seasonal averages.
The first days of April were characterized by episodes of cold return with
some sprouting damage that only marginally affected Sangiovese and
spared Cabernet Sauvignon.
In the first four months of the year, rainfall was slightly lower than
average. In May and June rainfall was extremely heavy, reaching two
hundred millimeters of cumulative rainfall and twenty-eight out of sixty
rainy days.
Having passed the early summer months, providentially, the climatic
pattern had a radical change with excellent sunshine and high
temperatures.
September was characterized by above-average temperatures and
abundant northerly winds with almost no rain. The Sangiovese harvest
began on September thirteenth while the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest
began on the twentieth.
Ruby red color, intense, fresh and fruity bouquet defined by hints of
currant, plum and wild strawberry; soft structure in the mouth with sweet
tannins and supported by good acidity; lingering and pleasant finish.
A wine suitable for any consumption, it perfectly pairs with meat-based
dish and seasoned cheese.
