Description

Azienda Agricola Perazzeta is located in Montecucco: Tuscany’s last unexplored wine region. The DOC is located in the southern part of the Tuscany wine region, nestled between Montalcino, home of the famous Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, and Scansano, of the eponymous Morellino di Scansano DOCG. The vineyards are directly opposite the Brunello hillside (which explains the similarities between the two regions in their microclimate) and are planted on the slope of Mount Amiata, a prehistoric volcano.

This little ‘family-affair’ (dad=winemaker; mum= administration; daughter=sales & marketing) is based in Montenero d’Orcia: a small hill-top medieval village (inhabited by a grand total of 253 souls) and surrounded by a patchwork of woods, olive groves, pastures, arable land and vineyards crossed by narrow, bumpy lanes.

‘Alfeno’ is Sangiovese based, with 30% of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and it is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Fresh and light with floral and red-fruit notes, this bright wine is ready to be enjoyed throughout the entire meal.

Drink not too warm within 3 years. It matches pasta dishes with tomato sauce.
