$81.99 price per bottle
San Giovanni is the name of Tolaini's vineyard near the town of San Giovanni a Cerreto. In the church adjacent to the vineyard there is a painting by Rutilio Manetti depicting Saint John the Evangelist ("San Giovanni") offering to Mary a chalice with a serpent, the international symbol of Saint John and chosen for this label to honor this historic land that bears his name. The grapes are manually harvested and then undergo a strict selection process; first as bunches and then once they are destemmed, the whole berries are transferred into French oak fermenters and a portion into stainless steel, where it undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine is aged for 16 months in barriques (70% new), of which 6 months on the lees and then an additional 12 months in bottle before release. Grape varieties :50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc Altitude :320-380m ASL Exposure :West/Southwest Soil :Lime and clay, with a considerable presence of gravel Alcohol :13. 5% Tasting notes :An elegant, structured and full-bodied wine with rich dark berry fruit and cassis aromas, the lush fruit framed by balanced oak. The elegant, structured tannins help to make this a cellar-worthy wine.
