Sancerre Red
Cave de Gortona
VARIETAL:
VINEYARD: Many years ago, Cave de Gortona chose to take the ambitious high road of ecological transition involving a reduction in the use of chemical products, the recovery of biodiversity, the preservation of the soil’s potential and the management of resources, particularly water. In 2019 the winery started converting into organic practices.This beautiful Red Sancerre comes from Pinot Noir vines planted on clay-limestone soils.
WINEMAKING: We choose to harvest the grapes at night in order to help to concentrate the aromas, the flavors and to control the oxidation of fruits. A portion of the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and the other portion in oak barrels (from the local forests of Tronçais and Bertranges) for 9 months where it undergoes its malolactic fermentation.
TASTING NOTES: This wine displays a charming red ruby color, clear and bright. Its nose is very typical of the pinot noir grape variety with notes of violet and spices. Its mouth is powerful, well structured and reminds small red berries.
FOOD PAIRING: Often served as the main wine during a meal, this red Sancerre could be amazing with fish, white meats and charcuterie. This is a wine that will be as happy in a picnic basket.
