WINE DESCRIPTION

The Bertinga Sassi Chiusi Toscana IGT, named after the stony soil of the vineyards, represents the winery as its second wine. This wine combines grapes from the Bertinga, Adine, and Vertine vineyards. After 12 months of aging in steel and cement, followed by an additional 12 months in the bottle, the Bertinga Sassi Chiusi Toscana IGT, sometimes with a brief Merlot aging in barriques, exhibits similarities to a Chianti Classico but maintains its unique terroir character.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Bertinga Sassi Chiusi is a delightful Italian wine hailing from the Chiusi region.This wine showcases the unique characteristics of the Sangiovese grape, which is the primary varietal used in its production. On the nose, Bertinga Sassi Chiusi offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of spice and earthiness, adding complexity to the overall profile. The palate of this wine is well-balanced and elegant, with a medium body and smooth tannins. The flavors mirror the aromas, with vibrant red fruit flavors taking center stage. There is a pleasant acidity that provides freshness and liveliness to the wine, while the gentle tannins contribute to a lingering finish. Bertinga Sassi Chiusi is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its acidity and fruit-forward nature make it an excellent companion for tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. It is recommended to serve this wine slightly chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities.
