Giramonte Toscana IGT 2016 - Tenuta di Castiglioni

The Giramonte Toscana IGT by Tenuta di Castiglioni shines clear, vivid ruby red in the glass with slightly violet nuances. The nose reveals a rich bouquet with intense aromas of blueberry and sour cherry, hints of roasted nuts and delicate spicy notes of anise, black pepper and coffee. Complex and full-bodied, this extraordinary Tuscan red wine develops on the palate, elegant, intense and powerful in taste and has a velvety tannin structure. In the finish, long and very persistent.

Vinification of the Giramonte of Tenuta Castiglioni

In 1999, the Tenuta Castiglioni produced the rarest and most exclusive wine of the Frescobaldi's, where all the factors interact perfectly to create a great wine.
For the Giramonte, Merlot and Sangiovese are vinified together, the maceration for the Merlot takes 25 days, for the Sangiovese 21, the malolactic fermentation immediately follows the alcoholic fermentation, then the wine is filled into barriques for ageing. After 16 months in new barriques, 6 months of bottle storage followed, only then does the Giramonte come on sale.
