'Flocco' Tuscany IGT Castello di Bolgheri 2018

Flocco Toscana IGT is an intense and structured red wine, produced by the Livorno-based Castello di Bolgheri winery. This label is the result of a skilful blend that includes half of Sangiovese grapes and the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Merlot (20%). The three varieties are grown near Bolgheri, where the vines can enjoy the great benefits associated with the breezes that blow from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. At the end of the work in the vineyard, carried out in a sustainable way, only the best bunches are selected by hand to be transported to the cellar. Here the grapes are gently pressed and then left to ferment in modern stainless steel tanks. For the refinement, the company relies on large wooden barrels, where the wine rests for about 10 months, acquiring complex scents. Flocco Toscana IGT is already excellent after bottling, even if it boasts the potential to evolve for up to 3-4 years.
