Reviresco Sangiovese Maremma Doc
For all of the Reviresco's playful juiciness and round richness, the finish takes a serious tone that adds another level of depth and complexity. Polished tannins are firm in their youth, lending backbone and length that open a world of possibilities for food pairings. Reviresco is an inviting and versatile wine that can be served as an aperitif, with antipasti, first courses of pasta and any red meat. It perfectly encapsulates all the care and attention which we have put into any grape it is made from.

- Harvest Technique:In farming we follow traditional organic practices. As an example the only fertilizer we use is green manure, broad beans which we sow among the lines of vines and that get mulched into the soil at the end of spring. In terms of treatments for diseases we only use copper and sulphur but only in the quantities allowed by the organic disciplinary. Harvest is carried out by hand in small plastic baskets and the pickers are given very strict instruction that only healthy grapes are to be put in the basket, while the rest is discarded.
- Soil:Sandstone
- Vineyard Size:15ha
- Vine Age (year planted):2004
- Fermentation:The Sangiovese grapes are handpicked and selected. After destemming, the must ferments in temperature controlled cement vats, starting at 18°C then gradually rising in controlled steps to about 28°C towards the end of the fermentation process. During the maceration which lasts about 20 days, pump overs are carried out daily and towards the end of the period also a short “delestage”. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the cement vats.
- Elevage:Once fermentation is finished the wine is transferred into second fill tonneaux of French oak where it ages for about 6 months. It is then bottle and kept to age in bottle for a period between 6 months and a year.
- Winemaker Name:Anna Maria Cruciata
- Finning & Filtration:We do a very light filtration in the spring following the harvest at 3 micron before we move the wine into the wooden barrels and a final one at the bottling at 0.45 micron.
- Tasting Notes:Ruby red in color, with brilliant reflexes of purple; the nose is intense and expressive, reminiscent of mature red fruits, cherry and wild berries. The dense and soft tannins add depth and persistence. For all of the Reviresco's playful juiciness and round richness, the finish takes a serious tone that adds another level of depth and complexity.
