Belcore IGT Costa Toscana BIO Rosso 2020

Belcore is the winery's second brand, first harvested in 1998. Since then, it has been the winery's best-selling wine, both in Italy and abroad. The wine is aged in 300 and 500 liter medium toasted French oak barrels for around eight to 10 months. Once the cuvée is ready, the wine rests in a concrete tank. Before bottling, the wine undergoes light filtering. The bottle remains in the cellar for another six months before going on sale.

It goes well with red and white meat dishes as well as medium-aged cheeses. It is well suited to a long aging period of around eight to 10 years.

A very soft wine with an intense purple color. The olfactory profile is dominated by Sangiovese aromas such as mammola (violet), but it is sweetened by the presence of Merlot tones such as blackberry and black cherry. In the mouth the wine is fruity with notes of ripe blackberries. The tannin of the Sangiovese is tempered by the softness of the Merlot. The long finish leaves the palate dry and tasty.
