Solenida Costa Toscana IGT

A Sangiovese that takes its name from fossil Solenidae shells in the soil of the Tenuta — this is not a marketing idea, but a reference to the geological speciality of the location in Tuscany.

Tenuta Podernovo lies in the hills of the Costa Toscana, an IGT area that allows winemakers more freedom in their cellar work than classic DOCG zones. The estate takes full advantage of this freedom: part of the Solenida matures in amphorae —clay vessels without oxygen exposure, which protect the fruit aromas and give the wine an earthy, almost archaic texture.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose offers aromas of Amarena cherry, ripe plum, and blackberry jam, underpinned by licorice, anise, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it is juicy, with the typical Sangiovese acidity and tannins that keep the wine vibrant despite the ripe fruit. The finish is long and slightly spicy.

Serving suggestion: 16–18 °C, ready to drink now. Pairs well with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar sauce on pappardelle, or mature Pecorino Toscano.
