Teruzzi Terre di Tufi Toscana IGT 0,75 ℓ

Terre di Tufi is an all-Tuscan blend of Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Trebbiano Toscano, made with grapes harvested from the vineyards of the Casetta area, in the province of Siena. The flagship of the Teruzzi winery, a reference reality belonging to the well-known Terra Moretti group, bears on the label an illuminated manuscript kept in the British Library, depicting an unusual blue-coloured dog, with webbed feet and wearing an unlikely cloak. Once the harvesting operations are concluded, the bunches undergo a skin maceration in the press followed by a soft pressing. The must thus obtained ferments in steel at a temperature of 16 °C. Ageing follows, in which the wine rests partly in steel and partly in tonneaux and oak barriques for 8–9 months, then for another 6 months in steel after blending. It manifests itself in the glass of straw yellow colour. Intense aromas of fruit are perceived on the nose, well integrated with some slightly toasted notes and others attributable to the ageing wood. Fascinating and complex, it satisfies the palate for its qualities of softness, flavour and elegance. Label to be served with fish or seafood dishes.
