Farnese Fantini Sangiovese 2023
12% abv
A youthful and appealing wine, garnet red in colour and intense on the nose with vibrant red fruit, cherries and herbal characters. On the palate, it has bright fruity notes of strawberry and morello cherry, with subtle vanilla characters from the oak. The wine is well balanced and medium-bodied with structured, firm tannins, fresh acidity and a long finish.
Grapes for the Sangiovese are grown in the communes of Ortona and San Salvo on the Adriatic coast of the Abruzzo. The vines are planted with a south eastern aspect on clay-limestone soil and trained using a pergola training system.The grapes are destemmed and crushed before undergoing an initial cold maceration for two days. Maceration and fermentation followed at 20-22°C for 9-11 days. Between 10 and 20% of the wine was aged in oak with the remainder aged in stainless steel.
