Wine Mantellassi, “Querciolaia”, Toscana IGT, 2018

Description

Dry red wine “Querciolaia” created from Alicante grapes grown in the province of Tuscany. A vine originally from Spain appeared in Italian vineyards in 1600. Winemakers from the Mantellassi family began making wine from the Alicante crop in 1977. Due to the long aging (13-16 months) in oak barrels and short-term ripening in a bottle, it has excellent organoleptic characteristics and is appreciated for its deep and complex flavor.
