VINOVE' SALES!!
An international wine in Tuscany , the "Lenzini Franco" by Tenuta Lenzini is obtained by vinifying 100% cabernet franc grapes , it is one of the latest arrivals that wants to pay homage to the founder of the winery, Franco, Benedetta's grandfather, today at the helm of the company together to her husband Michele.
A red with a Tuscan soul that slightly breaks the paradigms of 'classic' Tuscany , always and only devoted to Sangiovese, on the nose it exudes vegetal aromas of green pepper and tomato leaf with clear references to the earth and wild herbs but its particularity it is certainly the taste , the sip is soft and enveloping, but the alcohol content is low so as to give the drinker a greater lightness on the palate.
As mentioned, 'Franco' by Tenuta Lenzini is one of the latest arrivals from Tenuta Lenzini, a Cabernet Franc that pays homage to Franco, founder of the winery and Benedetta's grandfather, succeeds in this by being a red with a Tuscan soul but with a very special story thanks to completely organic cultivation.
A treat to be enjoyed over and over again.
A summer red? No, even better: a wine for all seasons , perfect to be enjoyed together with first courses with meat sauces or in general with important meat dishes , it is also an incredible companion for blue cheeses .
Being an artisanal wine , I advise you to uncork it and let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before tasting it, serve it at a temperature of 16°-18°C .
In this case the vinification is classic : the fermentation is activated with only indigenous yeasts and takes place in concrete tanks, while the refinement is prolonged for 6 months in steel and stoneware vats.
We are on the green hills of Lucca, in the small town of Gragnano , here we find the 13 hectares of vineyards corresponding to the name of Tenuta Lenzini, founded in the 16th century and originally belonging to the famous Arnolfini couple, portrayed in the famous painting by Van Eyck, now exhibited at British Museum in London.
Meticulous attention to the cultivation of the soil, which does not undergo synthetic treatments, copper and sulfur are used only as strictly necessary.
