Vintage 2006
Grapes:
Sangiovese (40%), Ciliegiolo (20%), Merlot (20%) e Cabernet (20%). This new formula of assemblage awards the increase of the noble grapes of Bordeaux (Merlot and Cabernet) produced in the new vineyards of Tenuta Col d’Orcia. The result is an even more convincing fruit and a vastly superior structure which turns this wine into a real non-aged Supertuscan.
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 the alcoholic one and the early bottling aims at capturing all the freshness of this wine.
