WINE DESCRIPTION
Casafrassi XXI Secolo Rosso di Toscana is a captivating red wine. Crafted in the renowned appellation Chianti Classico, this wine does not follow the Chianti Classico formula, but can be defined as a Supertuscan, containing 60% Sangiovese and 40% Merlot grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the finest grapes, followed by a meticulous fermentation and aging in oak barrels (ca. 2 years in French oak) and in bottle (ca.8 months). The result is a wine with a rich and complex character, where Sangiovese is responsible for structure and complexity, and Merlot adds rich texture and fruit character.
