Made from Prugnolo Gentile grapes, a historic biotype of Sangiovese, it stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and impeccable palate clarity. The aromatic bouquet reveals intense scents of cherry, plum and wild berries, framed by delicate floral nuances and refreshing hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it expresses a \u003cstrong\u003every concentrated fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, enveloped by sweet, rounded tannins. The tasting experience is completed by a \u003cstrong\u003esubtle balsamic\u003c\/strong\u003e menthol note, which imparts great balance and a pleasantly spicy persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the province of Pisa, from organically managed vineyards located between the municipalities of Terricciola and Casciana Terme. Situated at around two hundred and fifty metres above sea level with an optimal south-east exposure, the \u003cstrong\u003ethirty-year-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e enjoy ideal climatic conditions for slow and steady ripening. The true heart of this terroir lies in the \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils of marine origin\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in oceanic sediments. This particular geological profile is directly reflected in the glass, giving the wine a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e that clearly enhances both the aroma and the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo ensure the highest quality expression, yields are deliberately kept low. After about seven days of maceration and alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in wooden vats. The maturation continues with a \u003cstrong\u003elong ageing in large\u003c\/strong\u003e French oak barrels for about two years, followed by a period in stainless steel and then in bottle. This ruby red wine pairs magnificently with \u003cstrong\u003erich truffle-based dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, red meats, game and mature cheeses. It is recommended to decant for about an hour to fully appreciate its \u003cstrong\u003edelicate and elegant finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn among the picturesque Tuscan vineyards of Terricciola, this wine celebrates \u003cstrong\u003eLa Spinetta\u003c\/strong\u003e's intuition in vinifying the ancient \u003cstrong\u003ePrugnolo Gentile\u003c\/strong\u003e grape in purity. Grown on \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils of marine origin\u003c\/strong\u003e at an altitude of 250 metres, the thirty-year-old vines give the glass an extraordinary aromatic concentration and a vibrant mineral note.
