St. Giorgio Toscana Sangiovese 2020
Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
Made from 100% Sangiovese, this Tuscan red is crafted in a medium-to-full-bodied style using traditional winemaking methods. Grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the structure and enhance roundness.
Aromas & Flavors
Nose: lifted aromas of dark fruits, wildflowers, dried strawberries, red cherries, plums, and violet.
Palate: delivers ripe red cherry and plum upfront, with nuances of oak spice, dried herbs, and subtle floral notes.
Mouthfeel
Balanced with silky tannins, medium-plus body, and lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and food-friendly. The finish leans towards oak and red fruit with a pleasant lingering character.
Winemaking & Style
A traditional Sangiovese expression, with fermentation and élevage designed to highlight fruit purity and freshness while layering in subtle complexity.
Food Pairing
Perfect with light pasta dishes, grilled meats, charcuterie, and aged Pecorino. Also enjoyable as a conversation wine after dinner.
Verdict
An approachable and balanced Tuscan Sangiovese that showcases both structure and finesse. Drinkable now, but it also offers short-term cellaring potential.
