Pacina Toscana Rosso 'Donesco' 2019
In 2017, Giovanna and Stefano began producing a young-vines version of their flagship wine, naming it “Donesco”—an anagram for “secondo” (their “second wine”) which nods to the estate’s Etruscan roots, “dono” meaning “gift” and “esco” meaning “emerge” in that ancient tongue. Made from vines around ten years of age, this is aged exclusively in cement tanks, and for a briefer stint than its big brother, offering a similar depth of character on a less firmly structured frame.
