Profile
Polesse is a charming and balanced IGT Tuscan red wine. The 2019 vintage delivered an interesting blend: 55% Merlot, 40% Ciliegiolo and 5% Alicante. This combination of grape varieties gives rise to a wine rich in nuances and destined for long aging.
Vinification
The vinification takes place in steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruity aromas and the liveliness of the flavors. The wine is then aged in French oak barriques for at least 26 months.
Tasting Notes
Polesse has an intense ruby red color and a bouquet of ripe red fruits, plums and a delicate spicy note. On the palate it is soft and enveloping, with silky tannins and a remarkable structure. The finish is long and harmoniously persistent. A perfect wine for convivial dinners, it pairs well with grilled meats, rich pasta dishes and semi-aged cheeses.
