TENUTA LICINIA SASSO DI LICINIA IGT TOSCANA ROSSO

The vintage of 2018 Sasso di Licinia represents the first vintage of Sasso di Licinia in 100% Petit Verdot format. It is a wine produced in
the clos style– with the grapes coming from a small vineyard with a specific calcareous subsoil and therefore the wine is only produced in
extremely small quantities. The wine produced at Sasso di Licinia is characterized by its dark fruit aromas layered with traditional
European kitchen herbs – sage, rosemary but also with tea leaves. It is a highly structured wine with a powerful tannic finish – an explosive
wine – muscular in its structure but complex in its aromatic profile.
 

• Color: Deep purple-ruby, vibrant intensity.
• Nose: Aromas of wild berries, blackcurrant, mint, dried herbs, leather, and subtle spice.
• Palate: Juicy yet structured, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long mineral-tinged finish.
• Style: Powerful and elegant, with a Bordeaux-like structure but Tuscan soul.
