Super Tuscan from Jacopo Biondi Santi. From Sangiovese Grosso BBS11 grapes, a clone owned by the Biondi Santi family, Sassoalloro Oro comes from vineyards with excellent exposure and from plants over 15 years old. It has an estimated longevity of 30 years.

Grape variety: Sangiovese 

Vinification: The grapes are  crushed before fermentation in steel vats. Reassembly and delestages take place during the fermentation. The must is cleaned of lees and then malolactic fermentation takes place, always in steel vats. After this the wine is refined in barrels of 28.5hl Slavonia oak and 225-liter barriques for 16 months.

Tasting notes: ruby red, rich and bright colour. The elegant sensations of cherry and violet come out decisive and leaving after room for the notes that are coming from ageing. The spicy aromas are expressed with elegance, precision and a lot of details. Tannins are silky, dense and fresh. 

Food Pairing: The wine finds its natural combination with traditional Tuscan cuisine, especially with roasted game meats and medium-aged cheeses. It is an excellent meditation wine, to be tasted alone or on special occasions.
