About the wine
With the snappy Sangiovese 2016 — Salita, you can offer your guests something very special. The fertile and blooming Tuscan landscapes give us these grapes, from which the winemaker from the Italian winery Fattoria Rocca di Castagnoli conjures up this red wine with refinement and sensitivity. Flaschenpöstler tip: Pair this Sangiovese with beef or pasta.

Tasting note
Salita comes exclusively from the most precious vineyard, the Grand Cru Lage. The fifteen highest terraces that lead to the winery only fit in one to three rows of Sangiovese bush vines. A unique expression of Castagnolis terroir. Attractively fresh and juicy aromas of red cherries lead to a palate that has a very soft, supple and elegant core of fresh, juicy tannins.
Culinary recommendation
Our recommendation: Enjoy this organic red wine at a slightly chilled 14°-16°C. Flaschenpost team recommends this Salita with pasta, lamb and pizza.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand in small boxes. The alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously with natural yeasts in 1-ton vats and steel tanks. The skins are macerated very carefully: The berries fall directly into the barrels without going through a pump or hoses, so that they remain intact and are crushed by their own weight alone. The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak wood. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 24 months before being refined in the bottle for at least seven months.
