Don't be surprised by the beautiful label of this wine. Bizarre images are a common denominator for all of Teruzzi's creativity. In this case it is a unicorn, a legendary animal par excellence, with the body of a horse and a single horn in the middle of its forehead. A symbol of wisdom and purity, strength and victory. Melograni is one of the few red wines offered by the San Gimignano winery. An interesting blend of Sangiovese, 85%, and Petit Verdot for the remainder. The grapes, delivered to the winery a few hours after harvesting, are carefully selected before being sent for processing. Only the best bunches, the healthiest and most intact ones, continue their journey. Alcoholic fermentation in 77 hectolitre truncated conical tanks at controlled temperature, after racking it matures for about 12 - 15 months in 5 hectolitre French oak tonneaux. Of these, only 10% are new, all the others are third or fourth passage. A further 5 months of ageing in tanks precedes bottling. Intense, brilliant ruby red in colour, this Tuscan reveals ample and persistent aromas, with hints of red fruit perfectly integrated with the woody note of the wood. The taste is full and intense, this wine is characterised by an excellent balance between sweetness and structure.
