2020 I Tirreni 'Pigolaia' Rosso Toscana

Winemaker Notes: A brilliant Tuscan red wine, typical of Sangiovese coming from old plants, characterizes this wine. In the mouth it is fresh but with a good tannic structure, all accompanied by a pleasant body that reaches almost sweet notes. On the nose, the aging in barriques is clearly evident, with predominant notes of vanilla and spices. Its characteristics make it an ideal wine to accompany elaborate meat dishes, such as stews and stewed game, as well as first courses with very rich sauces.

70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 4 months in French oak barriques. 

Enologist Tommaso Rindi and agronomist Samuele Falciani, who have both worked for wineries in the Chianti area, decided to start their own viticultural and winemaking project. They chose Bolgheri and, by joining forces, founded “I Tirreni”. “I Tirreni” is a name that pays tribute to the Etruscans who were the first people to settle in this territory and practice viticulture. There are 4.5 hectares of vineyards concentrated in two areas adjacent to the north-western border of the appellation: one in Ferruggini and the other in Osteria Vecchia.
