Castellani Touton Monsalaia Maremma Toscana 2021 750ml Sankt Laurent

Castellani Touton Monsalaia Maremma Toscana 2021 750ml Sankt LaurentMaremma is Italy's Wild West. The coastline is a landscape of white sandy beaches, umbrella pines, strawberry trees, oak trees and heather that gives way as one drives inland to a classic Tuscan rolling hills covered in olive trees and magnificent vineyards. From this beautiful land we select this range of wines produced from meticulous pruned grapes to get the most concentrated fruit looking for that elusive quality where sun, sand, clay, sea breeze

being neither as elegant as Volnay nor as powerful as Pommard

this wine undergoes a longer maceration than most rosé

was allowed to ferment all our red batches

Vigna Casalferro and Vigna Pecchierino

and a hint of clove and leather on the nose

crushed stone and pencil shaving nuances set against a backdrop of pineapple and white peach

Could do with a little longer to really accentuate this character - go five more years if you can

2022 offered a good maturity with particularly aromatic white wines

ripe and concentrated

any kind of cold cuts and mature cheese

The wine opens with an inviting and vivid nose of freshly picked raspberries
