The Rosso Toscana IGT "Rapace" by Uccelliera is a wine that captures the authentic essence of Tuscany and reflects the passion and dedication of the Uccelliera winery. Produced in the Tuscan hills, a terrain famous for its high-quality wines, the "Rapace" stands out for its varietal composition and carefully curated winemaking process.
The wine features a blend of Sangiovese, the star variety of the region, enriched by small percentages of other native grapes. This combination gives the Rosso Toscana IGT notable aromatic complexity and a balanced structure, capable of evolving excellently over time. The winemaking follows traditional methods, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by a maturation period in wooden barrels that enrich the wine with soft tones and vanilla nuances.
Visually, it presents an intense ruby red color, with garnet reflections as it ages. On the nose, the "Rapace" expresses a varied bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a light touch of leather and tobacco emerge, a result of its rest in wood. On the palate, the wine is robust yet balanced, with finely woven tannins and a persistent freshness that invites a second sip.
Ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, the Rosso Toscana IGT "Rapace" is also perfect to be enjoyed on its own, as a meditation to appreciate every nuance. With its distinctive character and rustic elegance, this wine represents an excellent choice for those who wish to discover the richness and variety of the Tuscan wine landscape.
