GUIDUCCIO I.G.T TOSCANA ROSSO

Guiduccio is a Supertuscan wine, a particular selection chosen and created by the Pellegrini Della Seta family, together with their winemaker Enrico Paternoster.
The family has been producing wine in Tuscany for several generations and as a tradition, also for this special wine, the best grapes from the Tuscan vineyards have been selected.
The name “Guiduccio” is the nickname of Guido, a very important given name in the family for five generations. Like this name, handed down over time, this wine comes from a project born and developed some years ago, it is created to last over time, to give deep and persistent emotions, and to be remembered for a long time.  As with all Terra di Seta wines, as well as for the family members with this name, Guiduccio is a wine with great character and elegance.

Harvest:
The excellent climate during 2020 allowed a balanced and constant grape ripening. The grapes, harvested by hand, were selected specifically for this wine at harvest, from selected vineyards with low grape production. Immediately after picking, selected grapes were gently transferred into the de-stemmer and crusher machine.

Wine-making:
All the wine-making processes were done with the control of the temperature and pressure produced in fermentation. After the fermentation, this wine underwent a period of maceration with the skins and was filtered, without passing in the winepress.

Aging took place for eighteen months in new medium-toasted French oak barrels. This wine was also refined for nine months in the bottle before its release.

Wine description:
Guiduccio has a great structure that, as an expression of the Tuscan Sun and soil, gives superior balance and harmony, depth of flavor, and aromatic complexity. With its typical Super Tuscan blend, this is a full-bodied wine with an intense ruby color. During aging in French oak barrels, it reached richness, complexity, and the right balance of taste and smell. Guiduccio has a clean pronounced intensity, it’s fruity and spicy, showing hints of tertiary notes lurking and pointing to a potentially phenomenal development.

Serving suggestions:
Herbs-crusted rack of lamb, or lamb in general, beef in all ways, hard aged cheese, short rib ravioli.
This wine can be preserved in the bottle for years, and it is recommended to aerate it before being served.
