Description
History
Borgo Macereto is located in Dicomano, in the heart of the Chianti Rufina subzone—one of the most esteemed areas for Sangiovese thanks to its higher elevations and cooler climate. The estate works entirely organically, following a philosophy focused on authenticity and respect for the grapes. La Fuga is the most immediate expression of their Sangiovese, crafted to highlight freshness, fruit purity and territorial character.
Grape variety
Sangiovese 100%
Vinification
Manual harvest with vineyard selection. Gentle destemming and crushing, followed by fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature with about 15 days of skin contact and regular pump-overs. Aged in stainless steel to preserve fruit clarity, then briefly matured in bottle.
Alcohol content
13.5%
Tasting notes
Bright purple-red color. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, rose petals, white pepper and a slight herbal note typical of Rufina Sangiovese. The palate is fresh and smooth, with delicate tannins, good balance and a juicy, clean finish.
Food pairings
Excellent with Tuscan first courses, grilled white meats, cured meats, fresh or semi-aged cheeses. Also perfect as a daily wine or for an informal aperitivo with rustic snacks.
