Vintage 2008
Grapes:
Sangiovese (40%), Ciliegiolo (20%), Merlot (20%) and 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 far 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 to capture all the freshness of this wine.
