DESCRIPTION
Sergioveto was conceived by Italo in 1985, in tribute to his son Sergio, who began working alongside him as the head of the winery that year. That said, the name is also a reference to the archaic name of Sangiovese, which was the main grape selected to produce this wine. Bright ruby red in color, the Sergioveto has a warm and seductive aroma of black cherry, plum and black currant syrup, followed by balsamic notes and a spicy finish of leather and sweet tobacco. It can accompany richly flavored dishes, thanks to its assertive tannic note.
REGION
Tuscany
Italy
Tuscany is the third most planted region in Italy (after Sicily and Puglia) but ranks eighth in production, reflecting both the poor Tuscan soils and deliberate efforts to limit yields and raise quality. After Piedmont and Veneto, Tuscany produces the third largest volume of DOC/DOCG wines. Over 80% of the region's output is red wine, with Sangiovese the most widely planted grape in Tuscany. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the Super Tuscans are the best known wines of Tuscany. Trebbiano is the main white grape of the region.
