Banditella Rosso di Montalcino

Banditella Rosso di Montalcino

Vintage 2013 Organic

 

Production area:
Col d’Orcia’s own vineyards located on the hill overlooking the Orcia river facing South. Average height above sea level of 250 meters.

Weather conditions:
A good rainy winter restored the humidity soil level after the droughty 2012. Budding and flowering took place during the typical periods of recent years and a regular summer weather was in line with the "traditional" vintage of the past. The harvest of the Sangiovese began on the third week of September helped by timely rains and temperature changes.

Vineyard and grapes:
The Banditella vineyard, planted in 1998 with clones of Sangiovese selected from Col d’Orcia’ genetic material over the previous 10 years, provides the basis for one of the best expressions of the Sangiovese grape. Rigorous selection of the bunches thanks to the manual harvest.

Vinification:
Medium-long maceration in short and wide tanks at temperatures which never rise above 28° in order to preserve a fresh and long-living fruit. Two daily pumping over combined with 2 délestages on the 3rd and the 5th day of fermentation give an efficient, but delicate extraction of colour and tannins.

Ageing:
After the the malolactic fermentation the wine is transferred into barriques and tonneaux (oak from Allier, Fontainebleau and Blois) where it refines for over one year.
