Mantello

Toscana IGT Sangiovese-Shiraz

Mantello is a blend of two strong and elegant kind of grapes, Sangiovese e Syrah, that, after a separate fermentation, are blended to be aged in oak barrels, for at least six months, obtaining a perfect balance beetween any fine aromas of tobacco, spices, vanilla, velvet tannins and blackberry fruits, exalted by a full-bodied and wrapping taste which shows the caracter of this unique super tuscan wine.
