Selvapiana Pomino Villa di Petrognano 2019

Fattoria Selvapiana is a historic estate located in Pomino, Tuscany, established in the 1970s. The winery is situated at the foothills of the Apennine Mountains, on the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The vineyards are planted with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot and are certified organic by ICEA. Pomino is one of Tuscany's oldest wine producing areas, known for its cool climate and high-altitude vineyards, which contribute to the unique character of the wines.

The 2019 Pomino Villa di Petrognano is a blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Merlot. The grapes are hand-harvested and aged for 23 months in a combination of 2,500-litre French oak casks and French barriques. This aging process imparts complexity and structure to the wine. The wine exhibits aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and orange citrus, with hints of wild rosemary and herbs. On the palate, it offers meaty, dry tannins, tart red berry fruits, and a lively balance of acidity, leading to a pleasantly long finish. This wine pairs excellently with charcuterie or venision meatballs with a rich tomato and herb sauce.
