"Il Galantuomo" 2021 Collecapretta
"Il Galantuomo" by Collecapretta is an extraordinary red wine, derived from over forty-year-old Barbera vines, carefully cultivated in the hills following the Umbrian peasant tradition. The grapes are hand-harvested, preserving the quality and integrity of the fruit.
The aging process occurs naturally in cement tanks, where the wine evolves and gains complexity. The result is a ruby red wine that reveals an intense explosion of red fruit on the nose, underscored by distinctive mineral hints. On the palate, it manifests with freshness and crispness, offering a lively combination of cherry and wild herb flavors. Its magnetic and rich structure harmonizes magnificently with a variety of dishes, especially first courses, red meats, and aged cheeses.
It is an ideal companion for cured meats and grilled dishes, offering an unforgettable tasting experience. To fully appreciate the complexity of this wine, it is recommended to taste it at a temperature of about 16-18°C in tulip-shaped glasses. While it can be enjoyed immediately, allowing it to mature in the cellar for a few years, "Il Galantuomo" can offer even deeper and more sophisticated emotions.
