Sister Moon, IGT Toscana

Sting’s song Sister Moon reflects the age-old connections between earth, moon, nature and mankind, and gives its name to the estate’s top wine, a harmonious blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet and 25% Merlot.  Vines are exposed south - south/east at 1,000 feet above sea level, and planted on a blend of sand and clay containing magnesium and calcium.  The wine has beautiful aromatics, deep and intense fruit and spice, and a gorgeous, elegant structure.  

• 2007 Vintage

  In 2007 the Merlot was picked in the first half of September, the Sangiovese at the end of September, and the Cabernet Sauvignon at the beginning of October.  Fermentation was in stainless steel, with maceration of about six days. Malolactic Fermentation took place in a combination of new and used barrique, in which the wine stayed for approximately 18 months.  8,000 bottles were produced of the inaugural 2007 vintage Sister Moon.

  • "This is a polished and beautiful wine, delivering blueberry, light toasty oak and currant character that turns lightly smoky and spicy. Full and very silky, with a long, long finish." 93 Points Wine Spectator

     

  • "The 2007 Sister Moon is a gorgeous wine. Sweet red cherries, flowers, licorice and spices emerge from this generous, radiant wine. Soft and caressing from start to finish, Sister Moon impresses for its sensual, graceful personality. The wine turns explosive on the finish. Sister Moon is 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet and 25% Merlot." 92 Points Wine Advocate
