Tasting Notes

"Collezione Privata Toscana IGT" displays opulent style reminiscent of the grandeur of the Tuscan Renaissance. This period, characterized by the richness and prosperity of Florence, captured the world's attention. The inspiration behind crafting this wine draws from the culinary delights of that era, particularly Caterina de' Medici's renowned stracotto dish. This delectable creation left an indelible mark on culinary culture in royal courts across Europe. The original recipe prescribed a slow-cooking method for the beef in Tuscan red wine for over three hours. It also involved enhancing the cooking sauce with unique ingredients, including chili pepper, pine nuts, almonds, and dried raisins.

Pays homage to this ancient tradition by harmoniously blending Tuscan heritage with the great international cuisine. The extended cooking durations, the interplay of sweet and savory flavors, and the indulgence of fatty and succulent dishes beautifully complement the opulent character of our wine. It serves as an impeccable accompaniment to delicious holiday courses, such as duck stuffed with apples and plums, roast pork with crispy bacon and caramelized potatoes, roast goose filled with chestnuts, apples, and onions, and pork seasoned with herbs, accompanied by bread and cranberry sauce.

It showcases a deep red hue, reminiscent of luxurious brocade. The bouquet reveals its rich and opulent essence, adorned with hints of spices, chocolate, ripe plums, and blackberries. The sip is marked by subtle sweetness, accompanying towards a prosperous and full-bodied experience. Flavors of licorice, resin, and ripe fruits dance on the palate, pleasing the senses. The supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture, weaving a lingering and profound finish.

About this Wine

Tuscany

Tuscany is the oldest wine region in Italy, with a long history dating back over 2700 years. The region is on the Western coast of Italy, stretching from the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea all the way to the Apennine mountains, with the majority of the region being quite hilly.

Contributing to around 6% of Italy's total wine output, Tuscany is the third most planted region, but only the eight biggest producer. Much of this can be attributed to the hilly terroir and poor soils leading to lower yields, but generally higher quality wines. The region produces far more red than white wine, and is responsible for two of the most famous Italian red wines, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

Chianti was first classified in 1716, and the region of Tuscany now has 29 DOC and 7 DOCG classifications. In the 1970s 'Super Tuscan' wines emerged of supreme quality, commanding very high prices. Although they were initially produced outside the DOC or DOCG zones, most of the regions have since been classified, though some producers still opt to use the simpler and less restrictive IGT labelling.

The famous red wine Chianti is based on the the Sangiovese variety, though is most commonly blended with Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The blending of multiple grapes is common, even Bordeaux blends can be found. White wines produced include Vermentino, Vernaccia, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay.
