Profile & Story

Torre a Cona is a Tuscan wine estate in the Colli Fiorentini. Crociferro is 90% Sangiovese and a small percentage of Colorino, from various estate plots between 300 and 350 metres, Sangiovese picked late September into October and Colorino picked mid-September. Vinification is traditional red winemaking with alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel for seven days followed by skin maceration; malolactic is also in steel. The wine is aged eight months, 30% in 50-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks and 70% in steel.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red in colour, with a fine nose marked by fresh notes and hints of red fruit. On the palate it is juicy, with lively acidity well balanced by structure and silky tannins.

Pairing Recommendation

Suitable for first courses with meat sauces, and perfect with Tuscan cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
