Sangue di Leone – Red Wine IGT 2019

Wine with a very intense garnet colour, on the nose is powerful with prevailing notes of toasting reminiscent of chocolate, coffee and light caramel notes. On the palate it is full, full-bodied, with a dense tannic texture in which the presence of merlot is perceived that gives fullness and roundness to the wine.

Wine produced from Merlot and Sangiovese grapes, harvested and vinified separately. The assembly takes place before bottling in different proportions depending on the vintages. Fermentation and maceration on the skins last two weeks, at a controlled temperature and with the use of selected yeasts.

The aging takes place for at least one year in French oak barriques or tonneaux. The wine undergoes a refinement in the bottle and is put on the market two years after the harvest.

It is the most prestigious and international red wine of the company.
