Francesca Romana' Terenzi 2019
The red wine "Francesca Romana" is born in the Grosseto Maremma from a blend of international red grape varieties, aged for 18 months in barrels. The tasting is intense and engaging, thanks to hints of berries, red flowers, spices, balsamic herbs and a soft, warm sip, with good freshness and round tannins
“Francesca Romana” is a true homage that the Terenzi winery pays to the international grape varieties grown in the terroir of Grosseto. We are indeed facing a blend where Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot come together in similar percentages, giving rise to a bottle of character that engages the nose and mouth in a tasting of concentrated aromas and flavors. An label where a global breath clearly emerges, promising to amaze even in the coming years.
This “Francesca Romana” signed by Terenzi is a Tuscan red that comes from the vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, all cultivated using the spurred cordon system. We find ourselves in parcels characterized by very poor calcareous sands, perfectly exposed to the sun's rays. The grapes, after harvesting, are destemmed, with a partial breaking of the berries, and then pressed. The must then ferments at a controlled temperature, between 28 and 30 degrees, in stainless steel containers for 15 days, also naturally carrying out malolactic fermentation. The final aging takes then takes place for 18 months in French oak barriques, until the wine is bottled and marketed.
The wine “Francesca Romana” by Terenzi presents itself to the eye with a bright ruby red color, crossed by some reflections tending more towards purple. The aromas enveloping the nose are mainly fruity, then tinged with more Mediterranean notes and floral hints. On the palate, it has a good body and a enveloping sip, from which emerges a fruity taste, well harmonized in each of the organoleptic components. A bottle that presents an excellent quality-price ratio, which pairs well with cured meats, stuffed pasta dishes, and preferably grilled second courses.
