La Mozza 2018 I Perazzi Sangiovese

To express this terrior to the fullest with new and exciting grape varieties. La Mozza consists of 36 hectares (90 acres) and lies in the Southwest corner of Tuscanys Maremma, a dozen kilometres from the sea and 45 minutes Southwest of Montalcino. This area is much drier than the fog-draped hills of central Tuscany. The lack of morning mist means the grapes start ripening at sunrise, and are sun-drenched until sunset. Rain is scarce as the Island of Elba off the coast acts as a windbreak, shifting eastbound moisture to the north and south. Here hot-climate varieties like Syrah and Alicante thrive, and the acidic edge of Sangiovese has mutated into Morellinos lush cherry fruit.

Alcohol percentage: 13.5

Tasting Notes

Juicy dark fruit mingles with spice and licorice on the palate. The bright, ripe cherry and soft texture makes this a natural match with fresh Mediterranean flavors.
