Le Selezioni Le Cese - Collecapretta

"Le Selezioni Le Cese" is a pure Sangiovese crafted from a selection of Collecapretta’s oldest vines. It is a natural red wine, produced via spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts and with no added sulfur dioxide. After macerating on the skins for approximately eight days, it is aged in glass-lined concrete tanks followed by a period in large wooden casks. In the glass, it displays a clear, pale ruby ​​red hue. The nose reveals notes of fresh cherry, violet, earth, leather, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy, and highly drinkable, featuring fine, dynamic tannins. An authentic, elegant, and vibrant Sangiovese that immediately conveys the character of the old vines.
