Super Tuscan – special selection!

Maturation: Sangiovese matured in large oak barrels, Cabernet in Barriques (225Lt), both for 12 months. Followed by a minimum of 3 months in bottle

A very accessible and innovative Super Tuscan, quite a lot of Cabernet which suggests a good potential for ageing, however the Sangiovese predominates and the wine is ready for drinking when released. The bright, red color and bouquet bursting with ripe, red fruits lead on to a wine that has concentration and acidity but also forwardness, liveliness and freshness that demands to be drunk. The very attractive label depicting a Tuscan landscape is by renowned local artist Nino Tirinnanzi.

RossoPesce – FischRed – FischRot

John Matta (Italian Wine Maker of the Year IWSC 2002 *) who loves red wine decided to develop a specific style from his Tuscan Castello Vicchiomaggio estate. Work on the wine started at the end of 2002 and the definitive blend was decided upon in December 2004 using Sangiovese with 30% Canaiolo. Sangiovese, Tuscany’s powerful red grape, with the addition of Canaiolo is fruiter and easier to drink, ideal with fish. An innovative wine deserves special packaging, an eye catching contemporary design using relief effects was chosen. The project was developed by John and his daughter Delfina (DelfinaDesign*), the resulting label will be noticed and easily remembered.
