Vintage: 2022

30,00 €

Description

Sangiovese Forte, or Sanforte, was first mentioned by Villifranchi in 1773. Compared to a standard Sangiovese clone, under the same conditions, Sanforte tends to produce more clusters per vine and ripens earlier. Its name derives from its ability to accumulate sugar in the berries; in fact, it was planted in the Lamole area—a particularly cool location with significant temperature variations—precisely because of this trait. Sanforte was and still is ideal for revitalizing weaker Sangiovese vines grown in challenging viticultural terrains.

Tasting notes

The wine is interesting because it retains a great degree of elegance. Aromas of violet and underbrush, dark red cherry.

Pairings

A pleasant red in the glass, easy to pair—for example, with Livornese-style salted cod (baccalà alla livornese).
