Castello di Bolgheri wine is produced with the grapes of our best vineyards placed close to Bolgheri Village. Vineyard facing the Tyrrhenian Sea that are now 20 years old.
HARVEST
Hand picked Grapes, selected on the harvest and before destemming even with much care. 2015 has been harvested from begin of September (Merlot), followed by the Cabernet Franc, to the end of September with Cabernet Sauvignon.
VINIFICATION
Take place in stainless steel tank, and part as well in oak tank and open barrels. Long maceration on the skins especially for the Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 days; 20 days for Merlot and Cabernet Franc to preserve more the elegance of the tannins. In this vintage all has been fermented with indigenous yeast.
BLEND
In this special rich vintage with extra soft tannins and gliceric mid palate we decided to increase the percentage of the Cabernet Sauvignon to focus more on classic spice notes and flavors. Of course as well will be increased the longevity of the wine.
