La Casa Rossa Val Del Melo, Tasting notes:
Intense ruby red colour, a Sangiovese of character and elegance. Bouquet of red fruit notes in perfect harmony with light hints of vanilla and tobacco. The taste is fine and complex, with elegant tannins giving a fresh and balanced flavour
Val Del Melo
The Val Del Melo winery is located near the town of Castiglione della Pescaia, its proximity to the sea combined with its location at the bottom of the valley means that Pian di Rocca is characterised by a particularly temperate microclimate, 2-3 degrees higher than the local average. It is no coincidence that for years the area was the production site for the first fruits and vegetables of the Maremma. Since 2019, the company has been using certified organic farming, which guarantees genuine products of excellent quality
La Casa Rossa, Vinification:
On arrival at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and left almost intact. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a temperature of 27 °C and maceration lasts about 25 to 30 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. It matures in 10hl French oak barrels for about 24 months, after which the wine is blended and bottled.
