Banfi Col di Sasso Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana IGT 2023 (Italy)

Description

Blackcurrant, Spice, Strawberry

A perfect mix of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that gives life to an immediate and extremely versatile wine. Ruby red color, intense, fresh and fruity bouquet defined by hints of currant, plum and wild strawberry; soft structure in the mouth with sweet tannins and supported by good acidity; lingering and pleasant finish.

The winter was mild, with temperatures slightly above seasonal averages. The first days of April were characterized by episodes of cold return with some sprouting damage that only marginally affected Sangiovese and spared Cabernet Sauvignon. In the first four months of the year, rainfall was slightly lower than average. In May and June rainfall was extremely heavy, reaching two hundred millimeters of cumulative rainfall and twenty-eight out of sixty rainy days. Having passed the early summer months, providentially, the climatic pattern had a radical change with excellent sunshine and high temperatures. September was characterized by above-average temperatures and abundant northerly winds with almost no rain. The Sangiovese harvest began on September thirteenth while the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest began on the twentieth.

Food Pairing: A wine suitable for any consumption, it perfectly pairs with meat-based dish and seasoned cheese.
