"Eva" Toscana Rosso, Le Crocine
TASTING NOTES:
Deep red with some shine in the glass.
Fruity with cherries and berries, plus light floral and herb scents. Hint of vanilla.
Rich fruit flavors with some spice and earthy notes. Good balance between tart and smooth.
A quality Tuscan wine that's ready to drink now or keep for a few years. Great with meats, strong cheeses, and mushroom dishes.

VINIFICATION:
Upon reaching the desired level of ripeness, the grapes are harvested and brought into the cellar. Careful selection of the grapes is followed by destemming, and then the must is transferred into steel tanks. Temperature-controlled fermentation and macera- tion take place over a period of approximately three to four weeks, keeping each process under strict control to reach the greatest complexity. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine spends about a year ageing in French oak barriques, both new and used, before being bottled.
