Petra - Alto Sangiovese | Italian Red Wine

Alto is one of the most marked expressions of the area. Its geological characteristics and microclimate are expressed distinctly by a varietal – sangiovese – that has always called Tuscany home.

The production method is strictly aimed at defending the territorial connotation. The grapes are hand-harvested and culled in the wine cellars, after which they are fermented in 100 hl tapered oak vats. Fermentation is accomplished in contact with the skins, after which the wine is aged for at least 2 years in large Slavonian oak barrels of 30 and 50 hl. After the final assembly, the wine is aged in the bottle for about 18 months.
