IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Wine Information
According to the winery “la Maialina (little pig) references the Cinta Senese heirloom breed that originated in the Siena area during the 1300’s and is the only Tuscan native pig to survive extinction.”

Average Vineyard Age: 15-20 years

Grape Varieties were fermented separately in concrete vats then blended and aged for 10 months in French barrels.

Tasting Notes:
This wine offers remarkable value for the complex flavors it delivers. (The 2012 vintage retails for $14.95.) A bright acidity supports robust flavors of grilled meat, fennel, spice, black cherry, dark chocolate and tobacco into a satisfying, lengthy finish.
