Red wine | Toscana IGT, Italy
Let me introduce you to Bufalo Nero Governo all'uso Toscano, a captivating red wine that encapsulates the essence of Tuscany.

The Bufalo Nero Governo is made using the Governo method. This ancient Tuscan technique involves adding a small percentage of partially dried grapes to the must during fermentation. This process gives the wine a unique character, adding layers of complexity, depth, and a subtle hint of sweetness. While the wine presents a touch of sweetness, the wine is mainly perceived as dry. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes, complemented by other red varietals such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine showcases the best of the Tuscan terroir. The Sangiovese lends its characteristic acidity and cherry notes, while the other grapes contribute to its structure, body, and aromatic complexity.
On the palate, Bufalo Nero Governo reveals a symphony of flavors. Ripe red fruit notes like cherry and plum mingle harmoniously with spicy undertones of cinnamon and clove. Subtle earthy nuances add to its complexity, while a hint of dried fruit, a direct result of the Governo method, provides a velvety smooth texture. The wine is medium-bodied with a well-balanced structure, making it incredibly versatile and food-friendly.
Speaking of food pairings, Bufalo Nero Governo is a match made in heaven with classic Tuscan dishes. It complements hearty pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces, grilled meats, and aged cheeses beautifully. Imagine sipping this wine alongside a plate of Pappardelle al Ragu or a perfectly grilled Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Its vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of the food, while its complex flavors enhance the overall dining experience.
Best served at a slightly warmer room temperature of around 18°C, allowing its aromas to fully express themselves. Before indulging, give it around 15 minutes to breathe, revealing its intricate character.
