Germile Wine - Morellino di Scansano DOCG

Description

Grape varieties: Sangiovese (100%)

Alcohol Content: 13%.

Region of production: Tuscany

Colour: Very bright ruby red colour.

Bouquet: Vinous, hints of red plums and small blackberries, such as blackberries and blueberries, with floral notes reminiscent of violets.

Taste: Fresh, delicate and inviting on the palate, with hints of ripe black fruits.

Food pairing: A classic wine for the whole meal, it goes well with savoury first courses, mild cheeses and stewed meats; it also goes well with fish in sauce and above all with cacciucco alla livornese.

Serving temperature: 17° - 19°.

Overall judgement: pleasant and quite persistent, due to its good acidity and well-balanced and amalgamated tannins.

Vinification, maturation and refinement: The harvest is carried out by hand in the area of Scansano in vineyards at 300 m above sea level on soils of average calcareous composition, low in organic substances and poor in clay, particularly suitable for Sangiovese.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, on the skins at a controlled temperature, with fermentation in stainless steel vats and ageing for about a year in stainless steel vats followed by at least another six months in the bottle.
