WINE DESCRIPTION
Fibbiano Le Pianette is a captivating red wine crafted by Fattoria Fibbiano in the picturesque Pisa Hills of Tuscany. This esteemed producer carefully tends to vineyards situated at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level, where predominantly clay soil, enriched with marine shells, fosters optimal grape growth. Comprising 70% Sangiovese and 30% Colorino, the grapes undergo meticulous manual harvesting. Winemaking involves gentle destemming and crushing, followed by fermentation in specialized stainless steel tanks for 10 days, utilizing indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes a unique aging process: 4 months in cement tanks for malolactic fermentation, followed by 12 months in Slavonian wooden barrels, and a final 4-month refinement in the bottle. The result is a harmonious blend, exhibiting the classic Tuscan terroir with nuanced depth and structure, making Fibbiano Le Pianette a standout choice for enthusiasts of Italian reds.
