ROSSO FIORENTINO

CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Toscano I.G.T.

The “ROSSO FIORENTINO” was born in 1990, some years after the “Etrusco”.
We wanted to select an image that, together with the wine, could remain in the consum-
ers’ mind.
This pure Cabernet Sauvignon, even if it is not an autochthonous Tuscan vine, has all the
characteristics to be a red wine produced in the Florence province. For this reason, the
wine has been called “Florentine Red”. This is also the nickname given to the painter
Giovan Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540) who painted “L’Angelo musicante” (The angel
musician).
Decanter (4 stars Highly Recommended), Tastings (96/100), Mondo Weine der Welt (89
scores), Duemilavini 4 bunches, Luca Maroni (84), Falstaff (90/100), Veronelli (3 Blue
stars, 92 scores).

TYPOLOGY. Tuscan Cabernet Sauvignon I.G.T.

GRAPES. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

VINIFICATION AND AGEING. We manually harvest this grape before the other vineyards, giving a special
care to each bunch integrity. Before going into the stalk-remover, the grapes are further selected through a
conveyor belt on which another final sorting of the bunches is made. Traditional vinification, using selected
yeasts and a long maceration of the marc. The ageing in wood starts right after the malo-lactic fermentation.
The wine is poured into French and American oak barriques with the capacity of 225 lt. Here it rests for
about 15/16 months. The refining in bottle is at least 6 months in thermo-controlled areas.

ORGANOLEPTIC ANALYSIS
CHROMATIC RANGE: Deep ruby red with purple hints.
BOUQUET: It is characterized by pervasive, intense and varied bouquet in which we
can find in order vegetal, spicy, balsamic and animal notes.
TASTE: The sensation in the mouth is soft and round and, at the same time,
extremely persistent.
ALCOHOLIC CONTENT: 13% by vol.
BOTTLE: 750 ml
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 20° C
KEEPING AGEING QUALITIES: 15 years after the bottling.

GASTRONOMIC MATCH. It finds the best expression with typical Tuscan starters. Ideal also with first
courses (pasta), “ribollita” (Tuscan soup), grilled meat and cheeses. Excellent with fish soups such as the
“Cacciucco alla livornese”.
