Product description for Le Masse Santa Goccia Toscana IGT 2021 (bio)

Info

2021 Santa Goccia is based on a cuvée of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo, and 10% Trebbiano. In the traditional Chianti style, white grape varieties were always used to stabilize acidity and colour. These vines are planted at an altitude of 250 meters around Barberino Tavernelle, with forty years of vine age, in cordon training on skeletal soils as well as tuff, sand, and clay. The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. Fermentation then takes place spontaneously in steel tanks without temperature control. Each vintage follows its own path, which also explains the fluctuations between vintages. 20% of these are processed as whole bunches. Fermentation lasts approximately ten days, with repeated manual pressing of the pomace cake. The wine then ages for nine months in steel and cement tanks, followed by a further eight months in the bottle before being released.

Colour

Bright cherry red with light reflections

Nose

It starts off fruity, spicy, and rough. Dark fruits appear in the form of plum, blackcurrant, and blackberry. A generous burst of sour cherry pushes it forward. A constant alternation: fruit and freshness. This has a racy and invigorating effect. The Santa Goccia reveals its Mediterranean heart through thyme and rosemary. The ethereal side then lingers in the glass for minutes.

Palate

On the palate, it shows us directly where we are: fruit, acidity, and tannin all at once. Balanced and uncomplicated. Tannins and acidity move along pleasantly in step and in successful harmony. It delicately coats the mouth. Its bitterness is consistently positive and in constant flux with the dark fruit. Wonderfully invigorating and varied. It always presents itself as lean and cool. Its lightness and pure drinking pleasure are evident. Its spicy, rustic notes characterize the aftertaste and always make us sit up and take notice.
