Red wine | Toscana IGT, Italy
The Symposium Calcante Toscana IGT is a delightful red wine that embodies the essence of the Tuscan terroir. Crafted with passion and expertise, this wine is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of the region. Predominantly made from Sangiovese grapes, Calcante is a vibrant and expressive wine with a deep ruby-red hue. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red cherries, plums, and a hint of earthy undertones, enhanced by subtle notes of spice. The palate is treated to a medium-bodied experience with well-integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity that provides structure and balance. The flavors echo the aromas, with a juicy fruit core complemented by a touch of leather and tobacco, leading to a lingering, satisfying finish.
The Symposium winery is dedicated to producing wines that showcase the unique characteristics of Tuscany. Located in the heart of the region, the winery benefits from ideal growing conditions, including sun-drenched hillsides and well-drained soils, which contribute to the exceptional quality of their grapes.

This Toscana IGT pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes.
