Poggio Civetta Governo all’Uso Toscano 2020

Tuscany, ItalyThe first thing you notice about this wine is its luscious, ripe, almost sweet fruit character. It results from Governo, a Tuscan winemaking process where grapes are left to dry on the vine and then are added to the fermented wine to referment one more time, creating an even richer version. It begins with a boisterous nose of ripe Bing cherries mixed with licorice and forest floor. Similar flavours mark the palate with a streak of dark chocolate and umami notes. Silky, smooth, and open with generous but soft tannins, this red has a lot of curb appeal. A delicious red best with rich dishes like osso buco or mushroom risotto.Tasted: 08 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
