75%Cabernet Sauvignon, 20%Cabernet Franc, 5%Merlot

Description:
Castello di Bolgheri is made with a selection of
grapes from our 20-year old vineyards located in
the surrounding areas of Bolgheri and facing the
Tyrrhenian sea.

Harvest: 

Hand-picked, grape selection in the cellar before destemming. The harvest began at the end of August with
the Merlot, followed by the Cabernet Franc and at the end of September by the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vinification:
Selected parcels vinified partly in steel, and partly in oak vats and 500-liter barrels. Long maceration on the
skins up to 30 days for Cabernet Sauvignon and up to 20 for Cabernet Franc and Merlot, to preserve the
elegance of the tannins. Most of it fermented with indigenous yeasts.

Aging:

Aging for 20 months in wood, of which the first 12 in 500-litre barrels and the following 8, once blended, the wine completed its aging in 35-hectolitre oak barrels.


Serving temperature: 18°C
