2020 Pacina - Donesco
Producer | Pacina
Region | Tuscany
Varieties | Sangiovese
Alcohol | 15.0%
Sangiovese for this wine comes from the vines that are too young to produce their top wine (10+ years old). The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented on skins in concrete tank. After an extended maceration, the wine is pressed into cement and stainless steel for a two-year élevage. It’s a wine that more than any others shows the vintage rather than anything else.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Pãcina is a magic place. Named after the Etruscan god of wine, it is located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, along the ancient road connecting Arezzo and Siena. Here Giovanna Tiezzi and Stefano Borsa are carrying on a 1000-year old, local tradition of food and wine production. Their property includes vines, olive groves and woodlands. Lucky enough to have a site that doesn’t need anything, Giovanna and Stefano produce wines with little or no intervention. Their wines reflect the unique soils and microclimates found on their vineyard. Pãcina’s wines are delicate, pretty and floral, but with great structure and strength.
