Regular price $35.00
Sold out
This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Tuscany made with minimal intervention.  The ripe-red fruit is succulent and becomes more luxurious as the wine opens up. The aroma brings a lovely earthiness and tobacco that feels true to the region and honest to the winemaker's vision. Pair with basil, grilled portobello mushroom caps, and roasted red peppers.

Details

From the importer:

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. There is a scant 1-hectare parcel of 25-year-old Cabernet vines on the Montesecondo estate in Cerbaia, planted on stony clay soils on a gentle northwest-facing slope. The certified-biodynamic bunches are harvested by hand and mainly destemmed, with around 30% of the fruit left in whole clusters and pressed directly. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur or temperature control in concrete tanks. Maceration is only 4 days with no extractive techniques, just a submerged cap or cappello sommerso. The wine is aged in concrete tank and bottled without fining or filtration and with a small amount of sulfur. “Rospo” is Italian for “toad”, the crown-adorned creature gracing all Montesecondo labels.
