Sangiovese \u0026amp; Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a modern Tuscan red wine from Tenuta Vigne a Porrona in the Maremma. B.S.T. stands for Baby Super Tuscan, a fruit-driven and youthful interpretation of the famous Tuscan blend style that combines Sangiovese and international grape varieties. After a dry and warm start to the growing season, the 2022 vintage received rain in August at just the right time, allowing the grapes to complete their ripening with a beautiful balance of sugar, acidity, and aromatic power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"636\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"736\"\u003eThis Toscana IGT comes from Tenuta Vigne a Porrona, an estate in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"987\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"763\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tenuta Vigne a Porrona is located in the municipality of Cinigiano, in the province of Grosseto.
