Rosso Costa Toscana IGT 2019

Let's start with the label. Costa Toscana IGT is a denomination that extends over a long strip of land of about 400 kilometres, encompassing the provinces of Massa-Carrara, Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and Grosseto. This is a varied wine-growing area rich in microclimates, where the sea breeze and the Tuscan sun create ideal conditions for growing vines. The one proposed here, in particular, is an organic red wine produced by the Piccini family, a winery that certainly needs no introduction. It comes from the Tenuta Moraia, in Maremma, where Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are cultivated with care and respect for the environment. The grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel at a controlled temperature and then aged for 9 months in oak barrels. The result is an intense, complex red wine with aromas of ripe red fruit and earthy, spicy notes. Elegance and structure, these are its main characteristics. In the mouth it is warm and enveloping, with good acidity and soft tannins that balance the fruity character. It pairs well with traditional Tuscan meat dishes, pork and mature cheeses such as Tuscan pecorino.
