O Produtor, tasting note published in December 15th 2020
Soffocone's elegance always impresses me! One of
the greatest expression of the Sangiovese grape. With the 2019 vintage we have reached an incredible quality. Small red and black fruits with spice and vanilla in the background, which give a beautiful aromatic complexity.
Soffocone is a single-vineyard wine, produced with the grapes of Vincigliata
in Fiesole: the soil of Vincigliata is rich in Galestro rocks and the vineyard
Vincigliata soil is rich in Galestro rocks and the vineyard runs from south-west to south
exposure and surrounded by forest. All these characteristics combined
give the wine its main notes and elegance, but also the winemaking process is very important: fermentation and ageing were conducted in large wooden barrels. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without controlled temperature, for about 10 days, followed by a few days of maceration and 18 months of ageing in large traditional casks.
