Description
This Tuscan red wine is born from the blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Alicante Bouschet. Production is limited to 30,000 bottles of 750 ml per year, with a yield of about two plants per bottle. The winemaking process begins with the transport of the grapes on a gravity belt to preserve the integrity of the skins. After destemming, the fruit passes through a filtering machine that gently breaks the skins to release the juice. The grapes are then collected in conical stainless steel tanks. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature with must pump-overs every 6 hours. After two weeks of maceration, the grapes are gently pressed. Aging involves 12 months in French oak barrels, using half new and half used barrels, followed by 12 months of rest in the bottle. Pairings: Pervale pairs excellently with grilled or roasted red meats, stewed game, and aged cheeses. It particularly suits the structured dishes of the Tuscan tradition. The recommended serving temperature is 18-20°C, with one hour of decanting before consumption.
