Il Corzano Rosso IGT 2019

Wine description for Il Corzano Rosso IGT 2019 by Corzano e Paterno

Colour & Appearance

Muted, deep garnet red with vibrant luminosity in the glass – a classically Tuscan sight that promises substance and elegance in equal measure.

Nose

The nose surprises with cool precision: graphite and a hint of smoke open the play, followed by ripe plums, juicy cranberry and spicy fig. Fine floral notes of violet and wild roses lend the bouquet an understated elegance. A fragrance that immediately inspires confidence.

Palate

On the palate, the Corzano Rosso reveals itself as lively and focused: red fruit freshness meets an invigorating, precise acidity, underpinned by a fine salinity that makes the wine irresistibly drinkable. The tannins are gripping, yet remarkably ripe and well-integrated. Despite the 14.5% alcohol, the wine feels lean and disciplined – no mean feat.

Finish

Medium-length, fresh and invigorating. A wine that doesn’t deliver monologues, but invites conversation – and inevitably seduces you into the next sip.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, vinified with remarkable restraint: hand-harvested, cold maceration, spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts at carefully controlled low temperatures. Maturation exclusively in stainless steel – no wood, no artifice. The result is a wine of honest directness and freshness that lets the terroir speak.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Practically made for purist Italian cuisine. Excellent with pasta with salsiccia, equally convincing with grilled swordfish with olive oil and rosemary potatoes. For vegetarian preferences: a beetroot carpaccio with burrata and rosemary is an equally harmonious choice.

Special Features

The Corzano Rosso is the accessible entry point to the Corzano e Paterno estate – and anything but a compromise. An everyday wine with character: precisely crafted, honest in nature and endowed with a drinkability that more expensive wines often lack.
