Type
An extraordinary wine that perfectly represents the expression of the Montecucco DOCG territory with its unmistakable character. The 2019 vintage gave us a Sangiovese full of personality, with 14.5% alcohol content that, combined with robust yet smooth tannins, gives the wine a pleasant roundness.
Vinification
The Sangiovese grapes are carefully selected and vinified in 50 HL oak barrels at a controlled temperature to preserve the intensity of the fruity aromas and freshness typical of the variety. After fermentation, the wine is aged with care in oak barrels for at least 20 months. After bottling, it rests in the bottle for at least 6 months.
Tasting Notes
Vigna Allegra has a ruby red color, releasing intense aromas of ripe cherries and red fruits, accompanied by subtle floral notes of violet. On the palate, this Sangiovese shows enveloping softness with smooth tannins and pleasant persistence. The finish is harmonious and leaves an unforgettable memory. Vigna Allegra is a wine to be enjoyed with red meat dishes, aged cheeses, and traditional Tuscan cuisine.
