Wine Description for UNLITRO IGT 2023 1000ml by Ampeleia
- Colour & Appearance
- Transparent, luminous ruby red with remarkable clarity – a wine that communicates its carefree nature visually from the outset.
- Nose
- Pure Tuscany in the glass: juicy heart cherries, mulberries and blackcurrants meet the wild, spicy macchia aromatics with thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Weightless, authentic, inviting – this is exactly how Mediterranean everyday wine should smell.
- Palate
- Delightfully juicy on the attack, with youthful freshness and a hint of residual carbonation that brings vibrancy into play. The balance is perfect: stimulating dry tannins provide structure and drinkability without ever dominating. A wine that doesn’t invite contemplation, but rather encourages you to pour another glass.
- Finish
- Medium length, fresh and with fine herbal spice that tempts you to take the next sip. Uncomplicated in the very best sense.
- Terroir & Origin
- From Ampeleia’s youngest vineyards near the sea in the Maremma. The proximity to the coast gives this wine its distinctive freshness and lightness – at just 12% alcohol, a genuine statement against heaviness.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Cuvée of Grenache, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Mourvèdre and Sangiovese. Hand-harvested late August/early September, three-day maceration, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, five months ageing in concrete tank. Purist vinification that puts fruit front and centre.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- The ideal companion to pizza, pasta al pomodoro, grilled vegetables, antipasti, bruschetta or simply salami and pecorino. Perfect for spontaneous gatherings.
- Special Features
- The one-litre bottle is the programme itself: more wine, more joy, more conviviality. Since 2011, Ampeleia has produced this authentic everyday wine – in 2023 in an edition of 160,000 bottles. A democratic wine that reconciles quality with accessibility.
