WINE DESCRIPTION

Saracosa Toscana Governo Rosso is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Saracosa winery in Tuscany, Italy. This wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes, grown in the winery's vineyards located in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The vineyards are characterized by their high altitude, rocky soils, and ideal microclimate, which contribute to the wine's unique flavor profile. The winemaking process involves a traditional technique called Governo, where a small amount of dried grapes are added to the fermenting must, resulting in a wine with a rich, complex flavor and a smooth, velvety texture. Saracosa Toscana Governo Rosso is a full-bodied wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
