This wine is produced by Fabrizio Pratesi in the LoLocco estate,owned by his family since 1875. Locorosso is made with handharvested 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet. This fragrant wine oers avors of strawberry, cherry and black currant with a nuance of chocolate. This ample bodied wine is so on the palate with jammy tannins and a long nish. Enjoy with red meat, game and medium-aged cheeses.

Soil type | Medium stony mixture derived from Alberese-type marly limestone and argillaceous shale (eocene) and sandstone (oligocene) with a medium-high presence of skeleton. The Apennine influence is evident in the area, resulting in strong temperature variations especially in the summer period; viticulture therefore develops in a particularly suitable environment. |
