Scapigliato 2021 - Calafata

Scapigliato - Calafata

The Scapiglaito, called by the producers "vino da merenda", is a still red wine obtained from the union of native Tuscan vines such as Ciliegiolo, Aleatico and other red berry varieties. the grapes come from vines cultivated in organic farming on gentle hills with north-south exposure, characterized by clayey soils and calcareous marl rich in skeleton. The harvests are performed manually, and in the cellar the alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel tanks. Refines for 6 months in steel and cement containers. Lo Scapigliato is ruby ​​red in color with a tendency to pink. The nose offers fruity and floral notes. On the palate it is fresh and delicate, with a slight tannin and a dreadful drink. A pleasant wine suitable for dinners with friends and relatives.

Service

We taste the Scapigliato at a temperature of 14/16 ° in the tulip glass. Wine, which as the name says, is to be drunk immediately.

Pairings

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