Sagrantino
After having reached the right sugar concentration, the grapes are destemmed and pressed and placed in fermentation in special silos where they will proceed with pumping over.
Harvest of the grapes took place at the end of September, with sorting of the best bunches, gently collected and deposited on mats for drying locally with temperature and humidity controlled for over 30 days.
As soon as the right ratio between developed alcohol and residual sugar is reached, racking is carried out, followed by filtration to inhibit the continuation of fermentation and also remove from the wine all impurities of plant origin. The wine is then placed in barriques for aging.
In terms of climate, 2018 was characterized by a mild and little rainy January, while rainfall came from February, with levels even higher than average. These rains also contributed to the water balance of the land, a very useful element especially after the drought of 2017. The vegetative cycle of the vine, which initially recorded a delay of a few days, has returned to normal thanks to the heat of April. In general, there is a delay in the start of harvesting operations ranging from 7 to 10 days compared to last year.
Very intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose is complex and decisive, characterized by its hints of blackberry jams, dried plums, cinnamon and biscuits, licorice finish. Very persistent in the mouth is a wine of great body and structure, warm and soft. Tannins and structure perfectly balance the sugar present. It endures long aging 15/20 years. We recommend serving at a temperature of 20°C after uncorking in advance. Accompanied by desserts made with chocolate and spices. Also with roast boar or lamb stew.
