Santa Margherita, after a long history of constant learning about the Sangiovese grape variety in the hills of Chianti Classico, has transferred to the Tuscan Maremma all of its know-how regarding Tuscany’s indigenous cultivar par excellence.
Santa Margherita’s estate in the Maremma is surrounded by gently sloping hills adorned by the deep green of Mediterranean scrubland. The vigorousness of the vegetation, the mildness of the coastal climate and the intense heat of the sunlight are suggested in the glass in the rich and complex weave of colors, scents and flavors.
The alcoholic fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures and is followed by the malolactic and then by brief maturation in wood. This takes place in French oak barriques and is carefully moderated in order to keep the wine’s fresh and inviting qualities intact.
Tasting notes
Its color is a bright ruby red, with a purplish tinge when young. It is clean and precise on the nose, with hints of morello cherries and wild berries, as well as a delicate spiciness. These sensations are echoed in a persistent manner on the palate.
Serving suggestions
It is excellent with red meats and ideal with pasta with meat sauce, cold cuts or moderately mature cheeses.
