It is the result of a \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and local grape varieties. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby colour, revealing elegant aromas of morello cherry and blackberry, enriched by notes of aromatic herbs and spices. On the palate, it is dry, structured and enveloping, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and tannins smoothed by ageing in oak barrels, with a long and savoury finish. It pairs beautifully with roasts, cured meats and cheeses, and proves surprisingly versatile even with \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese cuisine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Tuscan wine originates from estate-owned vineyards located on the Pisan hills of Terricciola. The vines grow at an altitude of 137 metres, with optimal exposure to the west, east and south. The wine’s profile is deeply linked to \u003cstrong\u003esoils rich in fossil shells\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a medium-textured, sandy-loam and clay composition. This particular soil composition imparts minerality and a solid structure to the sip, faithfully reflecting the essence of a \u003cstrong\u003ehilly region\u003c\/strong\u003e managed according to the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, the bunches trained on the spur cordon system ferment in steel tanks at a temperature of 28°C. The \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts for a period between ten and fifteen days, ensuring optimal phenolic extraction. The wine then matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, gaining complexity and smoothness, before completing the production cycle with four months of rest in glass. To appreciate every nuance, it is recommended to decant it for an hour and serve at a temperature of 16-18°C.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAliotto is the first wine from Tenute Lunelli to boast \u003cstrong\u003eorganic certification\u003c\/strong\u003e.
