Petra Alto Toscana Rosso IGT 2019

The Alto Toscana from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, aged in barrels, is reflected in the glass in dense ruby red. If you pan the glass, this red wine reveals a high density and abundance, which is evident in clear church windows at the edge of the glass. The first nose of Alto Toscana presents notes of blackberries, mulberries and blackcurrants. The fruity notes of the bouquet are complemented by notes of barrel expansion such as sun-warm rock and forest soil.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a real quality wine that stands out clearly from simpler qualities and so this Italian naturally enchants with the finest balance in all dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require much sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully fleshy and dense. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region delights Tuscany with its beautiful length. There are again hints of blackberry and blueberry.

The powerful Alto Toscana from Italy is a pure wine, vinified from the Sangiovese grape variety. After harvesting, the grapes immediately reach the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation is then carried out in small wood at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by ageing for a few months in oak barrels.

This Italian should be enjoyed at a temperature of 15 - 18°C. It goes perfectly with braised chicken in red wine, vegetable couscous with beef meatballs or lamb ragout with chickpeas and dried figs.
