Sangiovese Rubicone Igp ” MaraMia” – Tenuta Mara
Price range: £58,30 through £60,50
Vinification: The vinification process is rooted in traditional methods, highlighting the purity of Sangiovese grapes. Hand-harvested and carefully sorted, the grapes ferment in conical oak vats using natural yeasts, with prolonged skin maceration lasting about a month. The wine then matures on its fine lees for 15 to 16 months in French oak barrels, including tonneaux and larger casks, before being bottled entirely unfined and unfiltered, preserving its authentic character and rich essence.
Tasting Note: It boasts an intense ruby red hue, enhanced by garnet reflections. Its bouquet is a captivating blend of floral notes, ripe red fruits, and intriguing spices, including sandalwood and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it reveals a soft freshness and velvety tannins, culminating in a persistent finish enriched by delicate balsamic hints, suggesting remarkable aging potential.
