WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Governo All'Uso Toscano by La Bestia is crafted using a traditional Tuscan method known as 'Governo all'Uso Toscano'. This technique involves a secondary fermentation process. After the primary fermentation is complete, a small percentage of dried grapes is added to the wine. This addition triggers a slow, secondary fermentation, which is instrumental in enhancing the wine's color intensity, improving its structure, and adding layers of aromatic complexity. The primary grape variety used is Sangiovese, complemented by Colorino. The wine has an alcohol content of 13.5% ABV.
