Le Poste Rosso (Multi-vintage blend) - Davini

This wine is produced in Tuscany, one of the most renowned wine regions in Italy. The main grape variety used to make it is Sangiovese, which gives it notes of red fruit and spice. One interesting detail is that the producing estate takes an organic approach to viticulture, avoiding the use of pesticides and chemical products.

The appellation: Toscana IGT

Toscana IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is an appellation created in 1995 to allow Tuscan producers to experiment with new expressions of wine outside the strict production rules of the DOCs and DOCGs. This category gave rise to the famous Super Tuscans, wines of excellent quality often made with international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, but also with native varieties such as Sangiovese, Vermentino and Trebbiano.
