"Lenaia" Rosso Toscana IGT 2021

Lenaia di Fattoria Casa di Terra is a red wine, IGT Toscana, that represents the youth and exuberance of wines from the Tuscan coast. After all, its name, which derives from the ancient Greek festivals dedicated to the god Dionysus and wine, already evokes its lively and convivial nature. Lenaia is made from a blend of Malbec, Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes, which complement each other perfectly, resulting in a complex and harmonious wine. Specifically, the grapes come from vineyards located on the Tuscan Coast, between Cecina and Bolgheri, where the climate is warm and temperate, mitigated by constant sea breezes. Harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the cellar at the optimal time of ripening, to best preserve their aromas and fragrances. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, alcoholic fermentation lasts about 15 days and is carried out with indigenous yeasts to enhance the characteristics of the terroir. This is followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation, which completes the wine ageing process. In the glass, Lenaia has a beautiful, intense and lively ruby red colour. On the nose, one perceives aromas of ripe red fruits, such as blackberry and plum, with spicy and floral notes. In the mouth, however, it is soft and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Perfect to accompany aperitifs, traditional Tuscan hors d'oeuvres, fish with tomato sauces.
