La Lecciaia Rosso di Toscana I.G.T
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
Grapes: 100% Sangiovese
Aging: 18 months in Slavonian oak casks
Alcohol: 13.5%
Winemaker Notes: La Lecciaia’s Rosso di Toscana serves up a bouquet of intense violet and cherries with a spicy ending. The deep ruby red color displays a thinning at the rim. The grapes are harvested in the last week of September and first week of October and put in oak casks from Slavonia for a minimum of 18 months. This gives the wine its firm tannins, sweetness and supple and fruit balanced flavor, created by Sangiovese’s lively acidity.
Tasting notes: The Rosso is imminently drinkable, with bright cherry, incense and smoky scents. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins and good acidity to complement the buoyant fruit. While this is totally enjoyable now, it will age nicely for the next eight years.

"Grilled plums, sour cherries, stewed tomatoes and herbs on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Succulent, savory finish." -James Suckling
Pairing: This Sangiovese wine pairs beautifully with traditional Italian foods such as pasta and pizza as well as grilled meats.
