Features
Name:
Mangiafoco Toscana Rosso IGT 2022
Terrain:
silty clayey
Cellar
Poderi del Paradiso spreads out in an amphitheatre of vineyards at the foot of San Gimignano and boasts about thirty hectares under vine, producing, with the precious advice of oenologist Paolo Caciorgna, more than 150 thousand bottles a year. Although they are very fond of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, which they produce in numerous versions, the company is a convinced experimenter with the San Gimignano terroir. Since the early 1980s, it has planted in its vineyards, alongside traditional vines such as Vernaccia and Sangiovese, also Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Chardonnay.
Description
Mangiafoco is a sumptuous red that never disappoints, made from cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grapes from the San Gimignano Estate. It is one of those wines to be left a few years in the cellar and will certainly surprise you by unleashing its best side.

Deep ruby colour. Intense and persistent nose with definite vegetal notes, tobacco, leather, red berry fruits, cherry and morello cherry above all. In the background light notes of graphite and spices.
Storage time:
over 5 years
Vinification
Fermentation and maceration for 3-4 days in a temperature-controlled rotovinificatore. Malolactic fermentation. Ageing in new French oak barriques for 14 months.
