Breccolo Sangioveto – A Unique and Intriguing Wine for Connoisseurs
Breccolo Sangioveto is a distinctive aromatised wine crafted by Lombardi e Visconti, specially designed for those with a true passion for exceptional wines. Falling under the category of “enoliti,” Breccolo Sangioveto stands out as a refined and innovative creation. It is an aromatised wine that takes inspiration from the rich wine-making heritage of Tuscany, using rare and lesser-known grape varieties that were once widely cultivated in the region but have since been overshadowed by more popular vines.
The key to Breccolo Sangioveto’s unique profile lies in its infusion process. This aromatised wine is created by infusing dried grapes from so-called “minor” grape varieties, which were historically grown in Tuscany but are now rarely found in modern vineyards. These lesser-known varieties offer a taste of Tuscany’s forgotten wine culture, resulting in a wine that is not only distinctive but also full of surprising flavours. The dried grapes infuse the wine with concentrated, intense aromas and flavours that are unlike anything found in more traditional wines. Breccolo Sangioveto’s infusion of these rare varieties gives it a complexity that is sure to intrigue wine connoisseurs.
The name “Sangioveto” pays homage to the location where the endemic vine species originated. Sangioveto is deeply rooted in the land of Tuscany, and its name reflects the connection between the grape variety and the region’s rich agricultural history. It is a nod to the heritage of the grapevine and its unique place in the wine culture of the area.
Breccolo Sangioveto offers a rich, full-bodied experience with an elegant complexity. The aromatised wine’s flavours are deep and surprising, with layers of subtle fruitiness, earthy undertones, and a slight sweetness derived from the dried grapes. This complexity makes it an intriguing choice for those seeking a wine that offers something different from the norm. The infusion of dried grapes adds an unexpected richness to the aromatised wine, making each sip a discovery.
One of the most appealing aspects of Breccolo Sangioveto is its versatility in pairing. It should be served at room temperature to fully appreciate its depth and richness. As a “Da Meditazione” wine, it is ideal for enjoying slowly at the end of a meal, allowing its flavours to evolve and unfold. Breccolo Sangioveto can be enjoyed on its own, savoured sip by sip, or paired with complementary flavours. It works exceptionally well with strong cheeses, such as aged pecorino or blue cheese, as the aromatised wine’s rich and complex flavours enhance the creamy, tangy profiles of these cheeses. Alternatively, pairing Breccolo Sangioveto with chocolate offers an indulgent combination of contrasting flavours that perfectly balance the aromatised wine’s subtle sweetness with the rich, bitter notes of dark chocolate.
Breccolo Sangioveto is perfect for those special occasions when you want to impress your guests with something truly unique. It also makes an excellent gift for any wine enthusiast, especially those who appreciate rare and distinctive wines. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Tuscan wines or a newcomer to the world of enoliti, Breccolo Sangioveto is a must-try aromatised wine. Its unique infusion of dried grapes from rare grape varieties offers a glimpse into Tuscany’s rich, historical wine culture.
