Description
Solare 2016 IGT Toscana Rosso Magnum by Capannelle
Solare 2016 IGT Toscana Rosso Magnum is a Tuscan red wine of great personality, crafted by Capannelle, which combines aromatic intensity, balanced structure, and elegant drinkability. The magnum format further enhances the wine's evolution and makes it ideal for important occasions, convivial dinners, and moments when one wishes to bring a characterful red to the table, capable of best expressing the profile of the territory.
Territory and wine style
Made in IGT Toscana Rosso with a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera, Solare 2016 interprets the Tuscan winemaking tradition with a modern and precise style. The vinification in Slavonian oak truncated cone tanks and the subsequent aging of about 18 months in French barriques contribute to defining a harmonious, rich, and well-refined wine. Tuscany emerges clearly in its character, in the measured freshness, and in the elegant tannic structure, while the vintage adds depth and tasting continuity.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with purple and garnet reflections, bright and lively. The bouquet is broad and persistent, with notes of raspberry, marasca cherry, plum, tobacco, cocoa, vanilla, almond, underbrush, and floral nuances. On the palate, it is velvety, round, and full-bodied, with sweet and well-supported tannins, a balanced freshness, and a pleasant savory and mineral vein. The finish is long, spicy, and fine, with an elegant closure that invites the next sip.
Recommended pairings
