Sangioveto 1994 Badia a Coltibuono
Tasting Notes
Dark ruby colour with shades of purple. Very intense nose with bouquet of balsamic, flowery violet, iris, spices, red fruits, vanilla and cloves. On the palate it reveals its great structure, dry and savoury supported by balanced acidity, warm and persistent with great aging potential. Supple tannins become refinement of taste, soft and velvety by time.
Vinification
Harvest: Hand-picked. The highest quality grapes from the estate’s oldest vineyards Vinification: Fermentation with native yeasts. Cap managed with punchdown. Maceration on the skins for 4-5 weeks.
Ageing
Ageing: 12-16 months in barriques of French oak. 6 months minimum of bottle aging before release.
