IGT Toscana
Leuta Malbec 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. It is the first Malbec vineyard in the Cortona area. Planted in 2008 as an experimental vineyard thanks to Malbec buds retrieved from a characteristic part of Argentina, from a hundred year old vineyard. After five years of experimental micro-vinification, it has become in its own right a part, albeit in limited quantity, of the production of the Leuta company since 2015. C: intense, deep-ruby red N: intense notes of black fruit, pomegranate and plum with a delicate touch of raspberry and raisin, influenced by an evident mineral note of graphite, and a delicious hint of balsamic dill. B: intense but at the same time delicate, medium-bodied with excellent acidity making it very drinkable. Blackberries and blueberries combine with an elegant hint of coffee beans and dark chocolate, harmonizing with the wood and with velvety tannins. Good persistence Pairs wonderfully with grilled meat, especially pork.
