Cincinelli. Mammolo 'Il Legato'

IGT Toscana
Grape: Mammolo

Too good! A completely unknown, old Tuscan grape grown organically near Arezzo.
We have never seen it as a single-varietal vine before. 2018 and 2020 are immaculate.
Just trust us and try it!!  13%

2020 was an excellent vintage, nature was given some relief from human excesses. Spring was cool and frosts cut the yields, rains in May replenished water supplies and a long hot summer brought ripe healthy fruit.  Mammolo performed exceptionally: violet, spice and forest fruit aromas, generous black pepper laced, red cherry and strawberry fruit, a touch of hibiscus and wild juniper.  An approachable and generous wine, there’s a lot to love. 13.5%

Il Legato is the closest vineyard to the winery, it covers 1 hectare of stony, alkaline, nutrient rich, clay soils.  Marco considered this very well suited to Mammolo, the land both drains well, and in extreme heat the surface dries so moisture is held within the clays.  
Mammolo is an ancient, and very rare Tuscan grape.  It is hand-picked and de-stemmed before fermentation in temperature-controlled steel vats.  The wine is them aged in used barriques for 12 months, lightly filtered before bottling.
