Villa Pillo Cypresses Rosso Toscano IGT
The 3 Cypresses, symbols of Toscana, give the name to the wine.The wine, 100% Sangiovese, comes from the selection of our best grapes and it reflects the traditional aroma and brilliant quality of Tuscan wines. The vines are trained on a vertical trellis to allow management of growing shoots and favor the development of color and ripeness.
Spur pruning in the winter followed by further selection of fruit in the spring ensures an ripeness. It has been aged in new French Tonneaux of 7 Hl to don’t give an eccessive tannin taste to the wine. The variety Sangiovese, at Pillo, expresses itself as a wine with adeep purple colour, with cherries and ripe fruits notes, balanced and medium body in the taste. Thanks to the big and smooth tannins, it is a wine of long ageing potential.
