Podere della Bruciata - Tizzo Cru - IGT Tuscan Red - Organic
Podere della Bruciata - Tizzo Cru - IGT Tuscan Red - Organic
It is a wine that is anything but classic. No chemistry, just grapes. Tizzo represents the other Tuscany, the lesser known one, and differs from the more common Sangiovese in its aroma and body. A wine with a great personality that immediately fills the glass. The aromas vary from black berried fruits to pleasant floral notes of violet. The perfect balance in the mouth makes it pleasant and incredibly suitable for every palate. In this wine the minerality goes well with the fullness of the fruit and each glass leads to the next effortlessly.
