“Iarsera” 2019 – Calafata

Iarsera - Calafata

"Iarsera" by Calafata is a red wine of great personality and depth that comes from pure Sangiovese grapes. The grapes come from a vineyard located on the hills of Lucca on medium-textured soil, with a clayey tendency and rich in skeleton, and is grown according to organic and biodynamic methods. After the manual harvest, in the cellar the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with a maceration on the skins for about 12-14 days. Then it refines in steel and cement for a period of 24 months, before bottling without filtration. "Iarsera" is ruby ​​red in color. The nose offers pleasant fruity and spicy scents. On the palate it is firm, warm, full-bodied, with tannins present.

Service

We taste the Iarsera at a temperature of 16/18 ° in the tulip glass. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great emotions.

Pairings

It goes perfectly with pasta dishes based on tomato sauce, to try with sausage in a pan with broccoli.
