Bertinga "Punta di Adine" Toscana I.G.T. 2017, 750ml
Picked from Block No. 100 of the Andine vineyard, this wine shows the potential of Sangiovese and embodies the true essence of Tuscany.
This terraced vineyard sits at 550m on a steep, south-facing slope, sitting on a clay-limestone soil with plenty of stones.
100% Sangiovese vinified in concrete tanks, and aged in concrete tanks and 2500L Austrian oak vats for 18months. Bottled aged for 18 months prior to release.
The color is an elegant and delicate garnet red. The first nose expresses aromas of roasting, coffee, but also balsamic. At the opening, the more typical character of Sangiovese takes over and reveals menthol, green olives and currant berries. The palate, although fruity and tasty on the attack, presents a firm and chiseled tannic structure which extends to the finish.
