Toscana IGT Rosso Ilex 2019 Beatesca

The Tuscan red wine Ilex of the Beatesca winery is born on the hills of Montalcino at approx. 400 masl and takes its name from the union of the names of its two daughters, Beatrice and Francesca.

The wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese grosso grapes, harvested and selected by hand. The vinification of the grapes takes place in steel vats with selected yeasts. The wine is then aged in second passage French oak barrels for a year, and then rests in the bottle for 3 months.

In the glass, the wine has a bright ruby red color. The nose reveals aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and plums, as well as notes of aromatic herbs, graphite, cocoa and undergrowth. The sip is warm and enveloping, with a long persistence.

To be paired with roasts and stewed meats, for example with a classic Peposo from Impruneta.
