Description
This melty, velvety and dense red wine is impressive and complex on the palate. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, Quercegobbe Tuscany flatters the palate with a velvety feeling without letting it miss freshness at the same time. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region finally inspires Tuscany with considerable length. There are again echoes of shadow morals and raisins. In the reverberation, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sand and clay are added
Vinification
Grapes from the Merlot grape variety form the basis for the powerful Quercegobbe Tuscany from Tuscany. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here the vines dig their roots deep into soils of sand, limestone, clay and marl. Obviously, the Quercegobbe Toscana is also determined by climatic and stylistic factors Toscana IGT. In the best sense of the word, this Italian can be described as wine of the Old World, which presents itself extremely complex. The development of the harvested material for this Merlot wine is influenced to a considerable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Tuscany, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight. After harvesting, the grapes quickly reach the press house. Here they are selected and carefully ground. This is followed by fermentation in large wood at controlled temperatures. After its end, Quercegobbe Toscana is aged for 36 months in oak barrels. The ageing in the wooden barrel is followed by a comprehensive bottle maturity, which makes this red wine even more complex.
Tasting notes
The powerful Quercegobbe Toscana from Petra comes into the glass with dense crimson. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high density and abundance, which is evident in clear church windows at the glass edge. The first nose of Quercegobbe Tuscany presents nuances of plums, plums and forest fruits. The fruity notes of the bouquet are accompanied by notes of cask ageing such as black tea, oriental spices and bitter chocolate. 100% Merlot
