Geograficio Governo all'Uso Toscano "Bosco del Grillo" 2022
The Tuscan style of Governo refers to the technique of adding lightly pressed, semi-dried grapes to fermented wine, causing a secondary fermentation. Just like the Ripasso wines of the Veneto, this method was widely used by the Romans to add body and complexity to dry red wine.
Being predominantly Sangiovese, this wine is quintessentially Tuscan in style and taste. Ripe red cherries and violets on the nose, the palate is generous, full-bodied yet smooth. The producer was a historical cooperative and is now part of Tuscany’s largest family winery, but maintains the same advantage of having many small growers able to provide premium fruit to their state-of-the art winemaking facility.
A fine example of tradition and modernity at work to offer exceptional quality and value.
