Geografico La Pevera Toscana IGT 0,75 ℓ

La Pevera is a tribute to the founding of the Agricultural Chianti Geografico association in 1961 in Gaiole in Chianti. The name refers to the ancient wooden funnel used to pour wine into oak barrels for ageing. The clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah are harvested and vinified separately in stainless steel containers. Fermentation with maceration allows a gentle extraction of soft tannins and more complex aromatic substances. The resulting wine is placed in ancient concrete tanks where it performs the malolactic, then it is transferred to French oak tonneaux where it is aged for 24 months. Dark ruby red colour, it releases elegant aromas of figs and ripe blackberry on the nose, joined by hints of elderberry in the background. On the palate it shows a good structure with firm tannins and a graceful freshness for a layered flavour that offers balsamic sensations combined with persistent aromas of dried fruit, vanilla and oak. Excellent in the company of lasagna and first courses with meat sauce, well stocked with lamb chops and red meats in general.
