Tenuta Fertuna, Sangiovese "Droppello" Toscana Bianco, Tuscany, Italy 2022

100% Sangiovese, vinified white.

Tenuta Fertuna's "Droppello" white Sangiovese interprets the soul of Sangiovese in a totally modern and original way. Coming from a single lot, “Alborelli”, it speaks of mineral notes, intense fruity and floral tones, fresh citrus nuances on an excellent basic structure. The wine is persistent and elegantly velvety, a wine to be enjoyed in its captivating breadth. It is the next evolutionary step of what has been the pioneering experimentation of the white vinification of Sangiovese grape and the achievement of the goal of a totally organic production.

Pair with cooked fish, pasta dishes prepared with white sauces, stewed or grilled white meat, ratatouille of seasonal vegetables.

Soft pressing of only Sangiovese grapes harvested by hand. The must obtained is slightly oxidized and rests at low temperature in steel for a few days to amplify the aromatic extraction. Fermentation at low temperature with a selected mixture of indigenous yeasts. Evolution for 12 months on "fine lees". It is then aged for 6 months in new Allier tonneaux; in wood, there are various bâtonnage operations that give complexity and intensity to the wine.
