ALIOTTO

TOSCANA I.G.T. ROSSO

The first wine from the Lunelli Estate’s to be certified as organic, this is a splendid blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot grown in the vineyards of Tenuta Podernovo, in the heart of the Pisan hills and is owned by the Lunelli family. The property is currently being converted to organic farming methods.
It has a luminous ruby red colour.
On the nose it displays refined notes of morello cherries and fruit preserved in brandy, along with tones of aromatic herbs and minerals.
It is a well-structured but pleasantly rounded wine, thanks to its elegant, well-calibrated tannins.
Overall, it reveals excellent balance, an appealing tanginess and a mellow finish.
