Le Chiantigiane Loggia del Sole Governo All'Uso Toscana 2024

An intense ruby red, showing purplish hues that gradually shift toward garnet with age. On the nose, it offers pronounced aromas of ripe fruit—especially red cherries—lifted by an elegant violet note. Generous and full-bodied on the palate, it is smooth, well-balanced, and harmonious throughout.

This wine is a suitable accompaniment to hearty soups, roasted meats, games and cheeses.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Near the end of the process, selected Sangiovese grapes—left to dry on the vine—are added to create a well-balanced Governo IGT Toscano. This traditional “Governo” method enhances the wine’s structure and refinement. The addition of overripe grapes releases sweet, noble polyphenols, increases alcohol to 13.5% vol., and boosts extract, glycerol, and overall smoothness.

The second fermentation is temperature-controlled to extend colour and flavour release, producing a fruitier wine with lasting aromatic and taste characteristics. After this, the Rosso Toscano Governo is racked and undergoes malolactic fermentation for improved balance. Finally, it rests on fine lees, where gentle yeast breakdown adds further softness to the finished wine.
