Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana IGT 1,5 l Magnum - Santa Cristina

In the glass, the Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana 1.5 l Magnum from Santa Cristina has a bright ruby red color. If you swirl the wine glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. The nose of this red wine from Tuscany captivates with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry and mulberry. If we explore the aromas further, we find lovage, juniper and cocoa bean.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the top wine segment, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar. This melting and dense red wine is balanced and complex on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region, or more precisely from Toscana IGT, is ultimately delightful with a remarkable aftertaste.

Vinification of the Santa Cristina Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana 1.5 l Magnum

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah grape varieties. The Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana 1.5 l Magnum is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The fact that the Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate also has an undeniable influence on the ripeness of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. The grapes for this red wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand once optimum ripeness has been ensured. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Fattoria Le Maestrelle Toscana 1.5 l Magnum can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 12 months.
