Grape blend: 100% Sangiovese
The Sangiovese grapes for the “Spremuta di Uva”, harvested – undamaged – in the vineyards on the “plains”, were immediately destemmed and pressed in the Fattoria’s winery. The juice obtained was left in contact with the skins for a few hours to favour optimal extraction of polyphenols. After 24 hours “in the cold” – just above 0 °C – to let the coarser particles settle without natural fermentation beginning, the grape juice was bottled without anything else being done to it! From vineyard to bottle only a few days go by; in this way, the good qualities of the sweet fruit are preserved to the fullest. The Spremuta is then pasteurised at a low temperature to preserve the greatest amount of vitamins possible and... the exquisite, rustic flavour!
Tasting – Colour: intense purple-red with the typical pulpy sediment. The nose: hints of sweet blackberries, plums, raspberries and Marasca cherries. In the mouth: pleasantly sweet, fruity, with good acidity that binds and balances the aromas.
Suggestions – Drink it at room temperature or chilled, possibly diluted with water (with or without “bubbles”, according to taste), with ice cubes, slices of fruit or a little lemon... if and as you wish. For “grownups” it can also be mixed with some well chilled sparkling wine!
