Description

Lecci e Brocchi's white Sangiovese is a wine with character, unique and defined as "a white Sangiovese in the land of great reds". It was born from the original idea of solving the challenge posed by the lack of white grape varieties suitable for the production of still wines in their vineyards, and of satisfying the demands of customers who wanted to enjoy a quality white wine. This is how the Sangiò label was born, a white wine made from red grapes, the queen of Tuscany, with an agile and easily recognisable structure, fresh and harmonious, rich in aromatic components, not afraid to evolve in the cellar. The grapes are grown in vineyards close to the winery, in the area of Villa a Sesta, in the beautiful countryside near the city of Siena. The harvest is carried out manually, with care and attention to the berries, between the end of September and the beginning of October, when the Sangiovese grapes are fully ripe. The vinification of Sangiò is a very complex process. 70% of the must obtained from the soft, cold pressing of the Sangiovese grapes undergoes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 30% ferments in new, medium-toasted barriques, where the malolactic fermentation also takes place. After about 6 months of aging on the fine lees in their respective fermentation tanks, the two Sangiovese are blended before bottling and marketing. The result is a wine with an intense aroma, with an important structure for a white wine, full-bodied, with savoury notes on the fresh finish and good persistence. The bouquet has a great aromatic richness, with hints of yellow-fleshed fruit and floral nuances intertwined with elegance and verve. Sangiò goes well with all types of fish, fresh cheeses and white meats. Its complexity and versatility make it an excellent choice for the most refined culinary occasions.
