2024 Governo all'Uso Toscano
Wine Details
Governo all'Uso Toscano is a traditional Tuscan winemaking method dating back to the 14th century. It involves adding partially dried grapes to the wine during fermentation, creating a secondary fermentation that enriches flavor and complexity. The result is a wine with deep color, full body, and vibrant notes of ripe fruit. This technique showcases the region's rich heritage and craftsmanship.
Winemaking Notes
The harvest occurs between the last week of September and the first week of October, depending on the ripeness of each grape variety. Following the 'Governo' method, a portion of the grapes is set aside for drying and later added to the wine, triggering a secondary fermentation that enhances its complexity and structure.
