## Interesting facts

## Food pairing

The wine's medium body and high acidity make it versatile. Acidity cuts through the richness of fatty meats, while tannins bind with proteins, softening both the wine and the food. Earthy notes in the wine can complement mushroom dishes, and herbal notes can echo herbs used in marinades or seasonings.

## Wine making process

Toscana Sangiovese Trerose is produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The vineyards utilize the Prugnolo biotype, known for its late ripening characteristics. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation (specifics not detailed for this vintage). Post-fermentation, it is aged in a combination of French oak barrels and large Slavonian oak casks. The estate, Tenuta Trerose, holds organic and Equalitas certifications, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices.
