 BACIO DI TOSCANA ROSSO IGT |
|
|
Grapes: Sangiovese 100%
Vineyard’s altitude:: 300 m over sea-level
Ground: of Pliocene origin, made up of clay rich in potassium, of yellow sands (tufa), of crushed and pudding stones mixed up with giant shells, allows to get high quality grapes and hence “Vino Nobile”, “of all wines the king” as the Tuscan poet Francesco Redi defined it.
Plant system: guyot and spur cord
Plant density: 3300-5000 vine-stocks per hectare
Micro-climate: a climate marked by dry summers, cooled by periodical hill-breezes and by a long autumn, sometimes allows even the noble rot, that gives a wine that is “pure poetry”.
Vintage: a first selection of the grapes bunches in the vineyard and the manual harvesting assure an excellent product.
Wine making system: a further sorting before a gentle stripping of the grape stalks, the vinification system by means of the delestage technique in fermentation tanks made of steel grants to get a wine that is specially fragrant and delicate. Both in the rooms and in the tanks the temperature is controlled. The pressing is made by means of a modern Bucher pneumatic press and the decanting is carried out by means of a Ragazzini soft pump.
Physical and chemical evolution: after the alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation the wine is poured into big oak barrels where it stands for some months in underground rooms, sheltered from temperature ranges. The refining in bottles precedes the presentation of the new wine.
The wine is then submitted to the judgement of the Chamber of Commerce commission for the D.O.C. acknowledgement.
Data of the analysis: alcoholic content: 13.77%, total acidity 5.22 g/l., ph 3.62, malic acid 0.06 g/l. total sulphur dioxide 71.00 mg/l, dry extract 32.10 g/l.
Tasting notes: the wine is ruby red, with strong fruity perfumes. A fresh, scented and velvety wine.
Associations: ideal to accompany hors-d’oeuvres with sliced salami, ham and in oil vegetables. Soups and fresh cheeses. Excellent for the whole meal.
