2017 Bocelli Sangiovese

Of course we all knew that Andrea Bocelli can sing great. But I don't think so many people know that he and his brother Alberto run the wine empire. The winery of Bocelli is located in the beautiful Tuscan hills, near San Gimignano. Wine has been made here for more than 3 generations. And not just wine, on the contrary, really fantastic white and red wines. The Bocelli's only produce a limited number of bottles and normally these wines are actually only on the wine list of the better restaurants and only available to a very limited extent for consumers.

The Bocelli Sangiovese Rosso is a 100% Sangiovese. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel barrels and maturation for 9-12 months of oak foudres. The wine is full bodied with fine-grain typical Sangiovese tannins. In the nose, the wine is intense with a spicy aroma of cherries and rhubarb compote. On the palate it is also a powerhouse with present tannins. All in all a sturdy, pleasant farmer's glass of wine that screams for a nice piece of roasted or grilled meat. The price / quality of this Bocelli is excellent.

All Bocelli wines are produced according to the principle of organic cultivation (but because of very complicated regulations / bureaucracy are not certified organic). The grapes are picked by hand and no pesticides or other chemicals are used.
