$170.00

• 6 bottle of 2018 Mantellassi Il Canneto Sangiovese Maremma Toscana DOC

Tuscan Maremma is an unspoiled and secluded place from where interesting wine gems come. The hot and arid climate of the Grosseto area, with few precipitations, acts as a limiting factor in production which is a benefit for the quality of the Sangiovese grapes.

Coming from a mix of various clones of Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the Maremma hills, this wine is a highly regarded variety that has attracted the attention of all ampelographers. In this version proposed by Mantellassi winery, we have a fresh and clean wine with excellent drinkability and a great everyday Sangiovese choice.

Description

What a great alternative to the classic Sangiovese from Tuscany hills! When I lived in Maremma, it was a time in my career when I could taste excellent wines from new places. This one was awe-inspiring for its juicy body and high acidity that mixes well with more delicate combinations.
