Sustainable and Organic
Basile's Cartacanta Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG is an organic red wine from Tuscany, Italy, crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 350 meters with southwest exposure, predominantly featuring calcareous soils, which contribute to the wine's distinctive character. Harvesting is done manually, ensuring careful selection of the grapes, which are then fermented in high-quality stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine undergoes aging for 12 months in French oak tonneaux, followed by an additional 6 months in the bottle, enhancing its complexity and depth.
On the palate, this Sangiovese offers vibrant notes of sour cherry and red plum, complemented by savory, earthy, and herbaceous undertones of sage, thyme, and oregano, along with a peppery finish.
Cartacanta pairs excellently with red meats, game, and mature cheeses.
