Leuta Apostata IGT Toscana 2019

IGT Toscana

The Leuta Apostata Rosso IGT Toscana comes from a vineyard cultivated in Cortona - Tuscany - IT -. The intrinsic characteristics of the soil and the distinctiveness of the climate guarantee the production of wines of particular intensity and elegance. This wine, together with the Apostata Bianco, are part of the "Macerated" line since they have the distinction of being macerated with the skins for a long time inside terracotta amphorae.
C: intense, ruby ​​red.
N: very fruity wine with intense notes of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate and hints of black cherry, raspberry and raisins. Notable mineral notes of graphite, moss, and balsamic eucalyptus contribute to increase the sensorial definition and complexity.
B: intense but extremely delicate, medium-bodied with good acidity.  It has its distinction in the freshness and delicacy on the palate. Finishes with black fruit combined with an elegant almond over  an evident and balanced tannin.
Perfect pairing with lamb and mutton skewers.
