Casa Sola - San Donato, Tuscany
Pergliamici, I.G.T.
85% Sangiovese, 9% Canaiolo Nero, 3% Trebbiano Toscano, and 3% Malvasia del Chianti. This wine Per Gli Amici, "for my friends," was intended to be consumed solely by the locals of Barberino Val d'Elsa when production first began. However, due to the wines overwhelming popularity and demands from far and wide for this amazing, unexpensive Supertuscan, Casa Sola began offering the Pergliamici outside of the vineyard. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks then aged for some months more in cement tanks. After this, refinement occurs for three more months in bottle before the wine is released. Ruby red in color, the Pergliamici even exhibits some orange tinges. The bouquet is intense, persistent, and evocative of ripe wildberries. In taste, the Pergliamici displays nice dryness, well-rounded-ness, and a continuous finish with fruit and elegant tannins.
