WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Governo Rosso Toscano la Bestia 2023 is produced using the traditional 'Governo all'uso Toscano' method. This technique involves a second fermentation where about 20% of the grapes are dried on the vine prior to pressing. This drying process concentrates the sugars and flavors of these grapes, contributing to the wine's power and fullness. The primary grape varieties are Sangiovese and Colorino. Some aging on oak is indicated. Domaine Wines, the producer, collaborates with Tuscan winemakers with a philosophy focused on quality and creating wines with distinct character.
