Villa Patrizia Super Tuscan 'Leremo Rosso'

Profile & Story

Villa Patrizia farms 25 hectares, 14 of them under vine, in Roccalbegna in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany, using organic methods without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. 'Leremo Rosso' is a Sangiovese-led blend -- typically around 65% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot and 5% Ciliegiolo, with the exact proportions varying by vintage -- classified as Montecucco Rosso DOC. The wine ferments naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, with a relatively quick ten-day maceration to keep the tannins soft.
