Description
What kind of wine it is
Belvento Sangiovese Tuscany is a still red wine that embodies the winemaking essence of the Tuscan region. Produced by Petra, this medium-bodied wine stands out for its linear and elegant tasting experience. Visually, it displays an intense ruby red colour, which anticipates a deep aromatic bouquet. On the palate, notes of ripe cherry blend with spicy nuances, finishing with a pleasant and persistent liquorice trail. Its balanced structure makes it the ideal companion for roasts, game, and generous platters of mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The Sangiovese grapes used for this wine grow in Suvereto, a prime area of Tuscany where the hills benefit from the moderating influence of the sea. The vineyards take root in soils with a clay-sandy texture, characterised by a limestone component that gives the wine a distinct territorial identity. The training system is designed to maintain low yields, ensuring excellent aromatic concentration. This particular pedoclimatic context allows the vines to develop a balanced profile, enhancing the area's vocation and guaranteeing the perfect ripening of the fruit.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with fermentation in steel tanks, aimed at preserving the freshness and integrity of the varietal aromas. Afterwards, the wine undergoes a maturation period of at least twelve months, spent between small and large oak barrels. This passage in wood is essential for smoothing the tannins and enriching the tasting structure, while always maintaining the distinctive character of the grape variety. The process concludes with a further period of rest for bottle ageing, indispensable for offering a harmonious and well-defined tasting experience.
History and Curiosities
