Description

Fattorie Parri Gigi Rosso Toscana

Area: Toscana/ Tuscany

Grapes: Sangiovese/ Cabernet Sauvignon

Situated on the downward slopes of the highest hills of the Commune of Montespertoli, the territory lies to the south-west of Florence, in the area between two valleys Val di Pesa e Val d’Elsa; a chain of hills in an open and sunny countryside where cypress trees sway in the wind, ploughed fields lie close to woodland or alternate with vineyards and olive groves in a perfect harmony of space and colour.

Tasting Notes: Fresh, strawberry and sour cherry, dried herb, carne crudo with a little jalapeño (don’t mind me). Medium-bodied, lively and juicy, but savoury, with fresh strawberry and herb, a lick of dusty tannin, and a clean finish of solid length. I can’t quite emphasise just how nice, and interesting, this is to drink.

Made with minimal influence from the hand of the winemaker and fermented in concrete. Earthy spice which is perfectly slurpable. Order pizza and get into a glass of this.

Unfined and unfiltered
