Descrizione

BALVEDE – TOSCANA IGT

Balvede is an IGT Toscana Rosso made from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. The estate’s oldest vineyards lie on Pliocene sediments rich in clay and sandy tuff. Vinification occurs in open tonneaux without temperature control. Carbonic maceration lasted 20 days, divided into 1/3 destemmed and crushed grapes, 1/3 whole berries, and 1/3 whole clusters. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, followed by natural malolactic fermentation in barriques (1/3 new, 2/3 second and third passage). The result is a smooth and easy-drinking wine with floral notes, medium-bodied and with a pleasant roundness, medium acidity and medium-long persistence.
