Description
Still red wine from Tuscany, 14% ABV, produced by Teruzzi & Puthod. Blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Merlot. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine that embodies Tuscan tradition with a modern twist, a tribute to the art of illuminated manuscripts from the Gothic period. Destemming and alcoholic fermentation. Maceration in truncated cone-shaped tanks at 28°C, followed by racking. Aged for 12 months, partly in stainless steel and partly in 3rd-4th passage French oak barriques and tonneaux. It is then aged in tanks for an additional 6 months. On the nose, it presents good intensity and persistence, with woody notes in harmony with the fruity characteristics of this wine. The palate is pleasant yet bold and full-bodied. The tannic note is well-presented yet balanced with the fruit. The aftertaste has a good persistence.

| Story | A warrior rabbit, armed with lance and shield and riding a chimeric being, a snail with a man's head, accompanies the wine. Drôlerie, babewyn, antics with mysterious or no meaning at all, hybrid creatures, monstrous creations of the fertile medieval imagination, of the irony of the amanuensis monks. A tribute to the symbols and art of the illuminated manuscripts of the Gothic age. |
