Toscana IGT Governo all'Uso Toscano Gano 2022 Borgo San Frediano

The Toscana IGT Governo all'Uso Toscano Gano pays homage to the character of Gano, "the tough guy from San Frediano", made famous by the radio show "Il Grillo Canterino" which aired in the 1960s on Radio Firenze. Gano was depicted as a neighborhood bully, a vain and braggart individual, but often ended up being the object of ridicule. The expression "fare l'Gano" has become part of the Florentine language, indicating bold or exaggerated behavior in manners.

Gano is made up of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 5% Colorino and the remaining 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. In a selected part of the chosen vineyards, the grapes are left to dry for a longer period. Once primary fermentation is complete, the dried grapes are gently pressed and added to the wine, inducing a second fermentation usually lasting 2-3 weeks.

This wine presents floral and fruity notes, with fresh hints of cherry and raspberry, characterized by a citrusy and elegant touch in the mouth, with pleasant spicy nuances. The finish is soft and bright.

Perfect in combination with dishes such as pasta with wild boar ragù, game meats and mature cheeses.
