AMPELEIA “UNLITRO” TOSCANA ROSSO
$22.99
Unlitro displays intense aromas and an immediate and harmonious mouth, characterized by an explosion of fruit laced with delicate balsamic and spicy notes.
To bring on the table a one-litre flask is and ancient tradition, and a symbol of conviviality.
Hence the name Unlitro, and a bottle whose shape and size recall the joy and carefreeness of being together.
A wine that comes from our youngest vineyard, the closest to the sea; from a blend of Alicante Nero, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet. A wine that testifies to our desire to express the territory in a more gentle and immediate way, without losing the character of a classic Tuscan wine.
But Unlitro is more than that: it is also a project created to bring together the forces of Tuscan winemakers closest to the values of Ampeleia and support them in the development of a more organic method which combines respect and quality.

Description
his wine is a blend of varieties originating from the Mediterranean Basin— 50% Alicante Nero, 30% Sangiovese, 10% Carignano, 9% Mourvedre, 1% Alicante Bouschet—sourced from vineyards at 180-250 meters above sea level, the lower and more coastal-influenced vineyards of Ampeleia.

A small part of the harvest undergoes carbonic maceration (10%), the rest is either done whole berry or crushed. Macerations lasted 5-7 days. Aged 6 months in cement tanks. 165,000 1L bottles produced.
