Ali Rosso Toscana IGT

Description :

This wine is made from predominantly Sangiovese with equal parts of 2 clones, F9 and CH-20. The F9 Sangiovese clone contributes vibrant fruit qualities to the wine and the CH-20 provides structure. A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon is added to the blend and this adds additional layers of complexity. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, then aged for 10 months in stainless steel before bottling. 5% of the Cabernet Sauvignon used in the Ali blend matures for 10 months in third-passage barriques.
The name Ali means "wings" in Italian and is also the name of winery owner Lia Tolaini-Banville's "little angel": her daughter. The artwork from the label is a detail of Cupid from the original artwork for the Bramosia Chianti Classico label by Rik Olsen.
