“Sempremai” Toscana IGT, Podere Santa Felicita (2012) - Toscana
THE GRAPE
Abrostine.
THE WINE
Abrostine is an ancient red grape from Etruscan, present widely at the time of Lorenzo de 'Medici and in the following centuries in Tuscany; at the end of the 1900s, it was almost extinct and only recently has it been reproduced in tiny quantities.
A wine with a unique, spicy, and original character and aroma. The "Sorte Sempermai" is an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, you can smell aromas of red berries, notes of undergrowth, herbaceous and spicy. At the sip, it is tasty and straightforward, fresh, with an evident tannic texture, with long persistence.
THE PAIRING
Roast and grilled meat, Ragu Pasta, Red Stew Meat.
