On the nose, it offers clear aromas of red fruits, while on the palate it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003emedium structure\u003c\/strong\u003e well balanced by a pronounced mineral note. The flavour profile is defined by elegant tannins and a long, fresh, and persistent finish, qualities that make this wine ideal for patient \u003cstrong\u003eageing over time\u003c\/strong\u003e with each passing year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the hills of Gaiole in Chianti, in the province of Siena, where the vineyards grow at five hundred metres above sea level. The soils are characterised by a marked \u003cstrong\u003elimestone-clay composition\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental element that imparts a typical savoury note to the taste and supports the definition of the tannins. The grapes come from the estate’s \u003cstrong\u003eoldest vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose forty-five-year-old vines impart a deep varietal identity and a perfect balance between the character of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e and the natural freshness of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested in October, followed by careful selection of the bunches and gentle crushing. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats and is accompanied by a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for forty days, essential for proper extraction of colour and substance. Ageing lasts for thirty-six months, skilfully divided between unlined concrete vats and \u003cstrong\u003eused oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, before concluding with a final period of rest that ensures stability and a defined \u003cstrong\u003estructural elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e to the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiecine celebrates the historic tradition of Sangiovese in \u003cstrong\u003eGaiole in Chianti\u003c\/strong\u003e with a vision focused on excellence. The Toscana Rosso 2021 is born from the \u003cstrong\u003eoldest vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e on the estate, where 45-year-old vines give the wine a profound and unmistakable identity. Acclaimed by Bibenda, praised by James Suckling and awarded the \u003cstrong\u003eTre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e, this wine embodies the authentic expression of an extraordinary region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riecine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542325358763,"sku":"49505","price":73.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/riecine-toscana-rosso-2021_49505_1_80112561-b8e8-441c-b7d2-5534c0b0a11b.webp?v=1773724702","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-be\/products\/riecine-toscana-rosso-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
