Sancaba - Pinot Nero - Toscana Rosso I.G.T. - Franchetti

€49.20
Sancaba - Rosso Toscana IGT from the Sancabe winery a recent addition to the famous Frachettivini group. The winery is located in San Casciano dei Bagni in the province of Siena, in the southern part of Tuscany. This is an elegant Pinot Noir wine made to resemble Burgundy wines. The vineyards are located in a cool mountain climate with constant cool wind supply and substantial temperature excursions between day and night at an altitude between 650m and 750m. It is a beautiful bright ruby red wine that offers aromas of red currant, raspberry, cherry, wild strawberries, floral nuances and delicate spicy hints. The taste is elegant and smooth, with finely faceted aromas well integrated with a velvety tannic texture. The finish is fresh, long and persistent.

In 2011 Carlo Franchetti acquired some land near the town of San Casciano dei Bagni, where he discovered a small vineyard of pinot noir planted by the previous owner. Situated high in the hills on the southern edge of the province of Siena, the vineyards of Sancaba lie in ideal conditions for growing pinot noir: Cool winds, changes between temperatures from warm days to cool nights, scarce rainfall, and crumbling soils of calcium-rich clay and shale. Its high elevation with a peculiar nordic influence means a longer growing season and harvests that last well into the month of October. Today, what was once inhospitable and remote borderland is prime terroir for a most surprising Pinot Noir wine production. In 2013 a new high density vineyard was planted with Pinot Noir vines and first production started in 2017.
