A beautiful red wine of terroir. An organic wine from one of the most interesting wine-growing areas in Tuscany. We are talking about the Maremma Toscana DOC from Fattoria La Lecciaia. The Tuscan Maremma, after all, is an area that embodies the most authentic and wild essence of Tuscany. Situated between rolling hills and verdant valleys, this region is blessed with a unique microclimate, influenced by the proximity of the sea and the breezes that mitigate summer temperatures. This Maremma Toscana DOC, in particular, is the result of a meticulous selection of 100% Sangiovese grapes from different areas of the Maremma. The vines are trained using the spurred cordon system, to limit the yield and obtain concentrated, high quality bunches. Harvesting takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October. The subsequent vinification process takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats, where the must remains in contact with the skins for 15-20 days. During this phase, frequent pumping over is carried out, to best extract the aromas, colour and tannins from the skins. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to Slavonian oak barrels, where it matures for a minimum of 18 months. The result is a wine characterised by an intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and varied, with hints of berries such as blackberries and currants, interwoven with delicate spicy notes of black pepper and a light floral touch, typical of Sangiovese. In the mouth, the wine is pleasant and persistent, with a slightly pronounced but well-integrated tannicity that blends with the softness of the body and a finish that leaves an enveloping and lasting sensation. It is a wine that lends itself magnificently to being paired with red meats, such as a succulent Florentine steak, or with strong-flavoured mature cheeses, such as Tuscan pecorino.
