Nappolaio red wine - Super Tuscan

Nappolaio TOSCANA IGT


This Super Tuscan is a 100% Sangiovese from selected grapes coming from the estete’s oldest homonymous vineyard. The grapes from this vineyard are selected during the green harvest, between June and July. In this phase the excess bunches are eliminated, thus arriving at the end of September – early October with two to three bunches per plant. Thanks to a careful selection, the grapes that get to the ripening phase will have a greater structure and body, perfect for aging in wood, due to the higher sugar index present in each grape.
This mono-variety is aged for about eighteen months in oak barrils, both barriques and tonneax. To enhace the quality of this variety, French oak of first passage has been used. During this period of time the wine get tested once every two months, both on the organoleptic level and with lab tests.
After another ten months minimum of bottle aging, the wine is ready to be drank. It gives opening aromas of rich red fruits with plenty of barrel spice and wood notes, sweet cherry and streaks of vanilla. Soft and and silky on the palate. Warm and elegant, with subtle tannins. Structured and persistent wine with an intense red color.
