Paride Rubicone Sangiovese IGT 2020 Organic

This is the flagship wine of Santa Lucia to which the owner has put his name. The wine is made from the oldest vines of the estate that were planted in 1970 by Paride’s father and grandfather. The  grape bunches are carefully selected and destemmed by hand before fermentation with indigenous yeast. The wine is macerated in traditional amphorae (clay) tanks for about 2 month and further aging in steel. The wine is unfiltered and sulphite-free.

All this time-consuming work has produced a wine with a particularly fine and elegant aromatic complexity. The taste is rich and smooth with dark berry fruits, vanilla and a hint of spice. Although full-bodied, it still retains an elegance and balance of a fine wine. Drink with red meats, slow-cooked beef ragu or with cheese.
