Vintage 2018 Organic
Production area: Col d'Orcia's own vineyards located on the hill overlooking the Orcia river and facing South. Average height above sea level of 250 meters.
Grapes: Blend of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo with international grape varieties. In blending these grapes, Col d'Orcia has reinterpreted the old and noble art of assembling spices so as to obtain and exalt the complexity of flavours. The Ciliegiolo, ancient indigenous Tuscan grape variety, gives fresh aromas of ripe black cherry and balances the austerity of the Sangiovese.
Vinification: Maceration on the skins for 8-10 days at carefully controlled temperatures of fermentation below 26° C in order to preserve the intense and characteristic depth of the fruit. The malolactic fermentation follows immediately after the alcoholic (the 20% of the Sangiovese malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels) and the early bottling aims at capturing all the freshness of this wine.
