Winemaking
Governo entails adding slightly dried grapes
(Trebbiano in the past, now Sangiovese) to the first
fresh wine of the vintage that has just ended. This
addition sets off a slow second fermentation, in
90-hectoliter barrels, which lasts until the following
spring. This process increases the content of glycerol,
a factor that gives the wine a plusher and rounder
flavour, while maintaining austerity and elegance.
“An intense colour, a complex nose with notes of ripe fruit
(cherry and plum) and jam, tobacco and rain-soaked earth.
The palate is plush and caressing with a tannic nish.”
