Sangiovese “Peconio” IGT Toscana Villa La Ripa

Bright wine with an amazing millennial tradition!

Description

Saverio Luzzi is a renowned neuroscientist who bought Villa La Ripa as his week-ends and holiday retreat, with no intention whatsoever of producing wine.
However, while he was restoring the house he discovered antique artefacts of Roman times including jars for the storage of olive oil and wine of the first recorded owner of Villa La Ripa: Marcus Peconio, a noble Roman from the 2nd century!
After that discovery Doctor Saverio couldn’t excuse himself from continuing the millennial tradition so he decided against cutting the vineyards to make a garden as originally planned.
And he dedicated his first wine to the first recorded owner of his house.

Drink at room temperature within 5-7 years.
It matches most tomato-based pasta dishes, as well as the typical earthy Tuscan cuisine.
