Tasting note
In many places in Maremma, it is too warm to grow Sangiovese, in contrast to higher areas such as Montalcino or Chianti Classico. Vittorio Moretti was looking for plots where the Tuscan primeval vine could grow well. Alto, high, is also the name of the pure Sangiovese from Petra. After cold maceration and long maceration in 10,000 liter wooden stands, the wine is aged in 600-liter oak barrels for 18 months. It takes another long time until the first bottles go on sale. Alto has earthy notes on the nose and smells of jam, cocoa and ripe cherries. Minerality is noticeable on the palate, and tannin shapes the balanced body. The rich, well-structured red wine can be stored for an extremely long time.
Culinary recommendation
Zu Pasta, Pizza und Rindfleisch empfehlen Ihnen die Flaschenpöstler diesen Alto Sangiovese Rosso Toscana IGT. Der Wein sollte in diesem Zeitraum genossen werden: Bis 2023.
Vinification
Angaben über Vinifizierung: Alto nimmt seinen Namen vom Rebberg, der mit Sangiovese bepflanzt ist. Der Wille von Vittorio Moretti war es, in der Toskana, wo Sangiovese ihre Heimat hat, auch diese Sorte anzubauen und hat dafür das geeignete Terrain gefunden. Sangiovese nämlich ist äusserst anspruchsvoll, soll sie ihren Finessenreichtum voll zum Ausdruck bringen können. In der Maremma ist es ihr oft zu warm, im Gegensatz zu den höheren Lagen wie Montalcino oder im Chianti Classico zum Beispiel.
