This was to be called Super Tuscana our tribute to the women in our families -our wives, moms, sisters, grandmothers…as well as the women who have shaken up the wine industry along with every other workplace to make a more positive world. The design was done by a creative female artist in Austin of which we are most proud. That said this is not a wine for sexes but can be enjoyed by anyone who loves a serious, organic Tuscan red but at a value price point.
80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot
Produced with wild indigenous yeasts, minimal filtration and without any clarification this wine has its own identity and to call it a Super Tuscan would be correct but it would also not express it enough.. Donna is grown in soils that are mostly clay with a bit of limestone and are at the highest elevations in the area encompassing the town of Montepulciano in the SE part of Tuscany.
The grapes s are vinified separately after first undergoing a 15 days maceration. Malolactic fermentation is done in large Slavonian oak barrels and then the wine is aged for 12 months and when ready and will spend another 8 months in the bottle before it is released.
The nose is beautiful yet rustic and the flavors of dark cherry, leather and earth make this a spectacular food wine.
Donna is excellent with meats, pasta dishes, pizza and medium aged cheese.
