Vintage 2015 Organic
Production area:
Montalcino - Siena - Sant'Angelo hill facing South- South/West.
Vineyards:
Olmaia. Average height: 350 m above sea level. Planted in 2005.
Weather conditions:
Winter was rather dry with low temperatures in January and February. Spring rains, within the seasonal average, provided the water reserve necessary for the months of July and August. September was temperate with good day/night temperature excursions allowing a perfect ripeness of the grapes.
Grapes:
Cabernet Sauvignon, clones coming from Bordeaux with loose bunches and small berries. The choice of the harvest time was based on finding a balanced maturity. The harvest, exclusively by hand allowed a rigorous selection of the best bunches in the vineyards and then on the selection table in the cellar.
Vinification:
Fermentation in 50 hl stainless steel tanks. About 20 days of maceration at controlled temperature of 25-28 °C. 2 daily pump-over and 3 long “delestages” on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day of fermentation were carried out. Mallolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. From there the wine went directly into barriques in March-April 2016
Ageing:
18 months in medium toast French oak barrels (95%) and American oak barrels (5%). The wine reached its stability during the second winter in wood by being submitted to the seasonal cold temperatures in order to clarify itself in a natural way. After bottling the wine was aged for further 8 months before release.
Bottling:
Bottled on the 20 of March 2018
Bordolaise 750 ml: 13.640 bottles
Magnum 1,5 liter: 180 bottles
