Description
Contepassi Super Tuscan IGT
Contepassi Super Tuscan IGT is a rich and elegant Tuscan red wine that captures the modern spirit of Italian winemaking.
Produced by the renowned Fabiano winery, this Super Tuscan blend combines Tuscany’s traditional heritage with an international influence. As a result, it delivers exceptional character, depth, and balance.
Crafted from 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot, Contepassi Super Tuscan IGT showcases the strengths of each grape variety. While Sangiovese brings vibrant fruit and freshness, Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and complexity. Meanwhile, Merlot adds softness and a velvety texture.
The winemaking team carefully selects grapes from vineyards with clay, limestone, and calcareous soils. After harvest, they gently press the fruit and ferment it at controlled temperatures. Subsequently, the wine matures in oak barrels for approximately twelve months. Consequently, it develops greater complexity, refined tannins, and remarkable elegance.
In the glass, Contepassi Super Tuscan IGT displays an intense ruby-red colour. The bouquet reveals generous aromas of ripe dark berries, blackberry preserves, spice, and delicate balsamic notes. Meanwhile, the palate is full-bodied and beautifully balanced. In addition, silky tannins create a smooth and approachable texture. Furthermore, bright acidity adds freshness and length to the finish.
This versatile Tuscan red pairs beautifully with roasted meats, lamb, grilled steaks, rich pasta dishes, and mature cheeses. Whether you serve it at a special dinner or enjoy it with friends, it delivers a genuine taste of Tuscany. Ultimately, Contepassi Super Tuscan IGT reflects Fabiano’s dedication to quality, tradition, and craftsmanship.
