Tenuta di Ghizzano - ‘Veneroso’, Terre di Pisa, Italy (2017)

TASTING NOTES

Powerful but refreshing, a lovely interplay between the aromatic lift of Sangiovese and the darker flavours of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Wild cherry, sweet tobacco, liquorice, graphite, dried herbs and menthol wrap around polished tannins with the impression of crushed-stones and oyster-shells. 

Organically certified. Grapes are hand-picked and sorted. Foot pressed and fermented with indigenous yeast in open top 3000L vats followed by 16 months maturation in 500L oak barrels.

The family settled in the area in the 14^th century with the current winery built in 1370. However, it was not until 2011 that this appellation within Tuscany received DOC certification.
