‘Pianelli di Mammi’ is a Tuscan red wine produced by the artisanal winery Tanganelli, capable of combining structure and gustatory dynamism. This label is vinified from Sangiovese, to which small percentages of Malvasia Nera and Colorino are added to soften its sensory characteristics. The processing involves the use of the ancient technique known as “governo all’uso toscano,” which consists of adding must from slightly dried grapes to the primary must that has just completed fermentation, thus starting a second fermentation that lasts until spring. Regarding the name of the bottle, the “pianelli” are the strips of land that separate two rows, in other words, the inter-row spaces, while “Mammi” is a fraction of the municipality of Castiglion Fiorentino from which the homonymous hillside vineyard overlooking the Val di Chiana takes its name.
Carlo Tanganelli ‘Pianelli di Mammi’ comes from a blend of Sangiovese (85%), Malvasia Nera (10%), and Colorino (5%), cultivated on clayey soils under organic farming. After the harvest, the resulting must is placed in wooden barrels where alcoholic fermentation takes place and that malolactic fermentation thanks, respectively, to indigenous yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. Once the transformation is complete, the addition of must from slightly dried grapes is made according to the practice of governo all’uso toscano, with the second alcoholic fermentation extending until spring. The wine finally matures for 6 months in steel tanks before bottling.
The ‘Pianelli di Mammi’ by Tanganelli has an intense ruby red hue. The aromatic bouquet ranges from scents of berries and cherry to notes of chocolate and leather. The taste shows good body, balanced tannins and long persistence. A typical interpretation of Tuscany, with evocative ancestral qualities.
