Lilium IGT Governo

Lilium Governo all’Uso Toscano Igt was born with the rediscovery of an interesting traditional method based on a slow second fermentation of the drawn-off wine, with dried grapes. This is a richly historical, local practice.

PRODUCTION DISTRICT:
Grapes from the Tuscan hills, traditionally well-suited thanks to an ideal combination of soil, aspect and climate.

TYPE OF SOIL:
Well-aspected, consisting of alberese and galestro, the typical components of the best Tuscan plots.

TRAINING SYSTEM:
Guyot and spurred cordon.

HARVEST:
September to October.

WINEMAKING METHOD:
Some of the grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected before drying in small cases. Meticulous monitoring of the drying phase produces perfectly sound grapes rich in sugars. In the cellar, batches of freshly drawn-off wine are selected to receive the ready-dried grapes. The slow second fermentation represents the rediscovery and celebration of a historical, local practice: Governo all’Uso Toscano. Along with careful monitoring of the temperatures and skilled use of modern winemaking techniques, the method produces a rich, well-structured wine with unique, appealing and appetizing character.

RECOMMENDED CELLARING:
3 years.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated, vivid ruby red colour. Pervasive, complex aromas with marked ripe fruit (morello cherries and raspberries) and pleasing floral notes (irises and Parma violets). Rounded, full-bodied, soft and fruity flavour, very tangy and harmonious.

Food Pairings

Starters of cured meats and assorted cheeses, flavoursome first courses and vegetable soups, grilled red meats, but also an aperitif in good company.
