Description
Something different. 100% Sangiovese selected from an old terraced vineyard just outside the beautiful hamlet of Lamole, 650 m above sea level. The grapes are picked late to get maximum ripeness from this wonderful high-lying vineyard. Fermented in cement tanks with 30% whole bunches. The very long maceration of 4-5 months gives this wine a wonderful fruit character, which differentiates it from the more classic styles. “Every vintage defines itself! the wine is gently pushed in the right direction, urging it to find its own character. Natural ferments, crushed softly with feet and bottled with as little sulphur as possible. While drinking, close an eye and contemplate life from a different angle, Il Guercio.”
