About the producer
Podere Conca is a small Tuscan estate focused on traditional winemaking in the heart of the region.
About the year
The 2018 vintage in Tuscany produced wines with good ripeness and balance. At six years old, this wine is drinking well now, with the tannin softening into the background.
Grape characteristics
Tuscan reds built on Sangiovese show bright acidity and earthy notes that age gracefully, becoming more complex and refined over time.
About the region
Tuscany's rolling hills and clay-rich soils give wines a distinctive earthiness and structure. The region's continental climate creates wines with both power and elegance.
Tasting profile
Expect red fruit, dried herbs and a hint of leather. The wine has a savoury quality typical of Tuscan reds, with flavours that unfold across the palate.
Serving suggestions
Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. A standard red wine glass lets the aromas open up. No decanting needed, though 15 minutes in the glass helps.
