B.S.T. Syrah e Merlot 2022

The original idea of creating a light, ready-to-drink wine inspired by the successful Supertuscan wines is not new to Folonari. They called it Baby Super Tuscan (B.S.T.). The Syrah-Merlot blend, two different grapes, makes its debut with the 2019 harvest: Syrah brings color, tannins, aromas of red fruit and spices. Merlot brings roundness and notes of black fruit. They grow under the Tuscan sun and undergo a simple and modern wine making.

The perfectly ripe grapes ferment in steel vats at a controlled temperature with maceration. After racking, the wine remains in steel and undergoes frequent decanting to oxygenate.
