2020 Pacina - Villa Pacina
Producer | Pacina
Region | Tuscany
Varieties | Sangiovese
Alcohol | 15.0%
From up-to 40 years old vines. Made in exceptional vintages, a late harvest wine that comes enormous, but gentle enough to release younger. Sangiovese ferments on skins in concrete for an extended period of time before being pressed off back into concrete for a two year élevage. Because the tannins are softer, it does not require any time in barrel. After bottling unfined, unfiltered, and without SO2, the wine spends at least six months resting before release.

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 microclimate found on their vineyard. Pãcina’s wines are delicate, pretty and floral, but with great structure and strength.
