TRITTICO – Harmonious Red Wine Blend from Tuscany
Our TRITTICO is an elegant Italian red wine that combines the tradition of Sangiovese with the international finesse of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. As a classically dry red wine, TRITTICO represents a perfect balance between ripe fruit and mineral freshness—a true charmer on the palate.
Characteristics: Fruity texture and fine minerality
TRITTICO impresses with plenty of ripe, sweet fruit that gently coats the palate. Although this wine was vinified as consistently dry, it convinces with a juicy texture while remaining pleasantly light on the palate. The structure is characterized by excellent harmony, leading into an elegant finish. A red wine that possesses depth without being heavy.
Vinification: The best of steel and barrique
The balanced style of this Italian red wine is the result of a precise aging process:
- Selective Hand-Harvesting: The grapes (70% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) are carefully hand-picked at the end of September.
- Gentle Extraction: A maceration of approximately 12 days ensures the ideal extraction of color and soft tannins.
- Refined Aging: TRITTICO matures in a combination of used barriques and stainless steel tanks. This method preserves the fruity primary aromas while simultaneously adding structure and smoothness.
- Bottling: After its resting phase, the wine is bottled in early April.

- Braised meat and classic stews
