Vin del Fattore, Governo all'Uso Toscano, Sangiovese Maremma Toscana, DOC, Vignaioli Morellino Sca, 2022

"Governo” is a process of adding slightly dried berries, or in this case a blending fraction from raisinated grapes, to the regular grape ferment and then allowing it to run its course, with the aim of richer mouthfeel and added complexity. A deep ruby robe is the glass. It opens with medium-intensity aromas of sour cherry preserve, ink, peonies and bitter chocolate brownie. It has a dry, medium-acidity palate, with a medium extract, medium fine tannins and a medium body, a nice poise, a lovely length and fruit intensity with cherry, floral, raw bitter chocolate flavours and a medium-plus finish. 2024-2026–IR
