GRAPE HARVEST 2022
This wine is the result of a research project into the specific characteristics of the Sangiovese grape traditionally grown in the area and is produced by natural fermentation using indigenous yeasts to enhance these original characteristics.
Description
PRODUCTION AREA: Cantina Vecchia estate
GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Sangiovese
SOIL: Blue clay, sandstone, tufaceous, sandy
VINE TRAINING SYSTEM: Cordon spur-pruned
ALTITUDE: 265 m above sea level
ALCOHOL CONTENT: 12%
MICRO-CLIMATE: Dry and breezy from July to September thanks to the sea and Apennine breezes; mild and humid with temperature variations of more than 10 degrees between day and night in fall and spring
PRODUCTION PROCESS: Organic grapes from the estate’s best Sangiovese varieties are harvested and selected in the field and destemmed to eliminate “green” tannins from the vinification process and promote a silkier, more delicate tannic structure. The grapes then undergo a second selection process before pressing.
Vinification is carried out without allergens and without the addition of sulphites, starting with the must obtained from the pressing of about 90% of the grapes harvested, with the addition of about 10% of whole grapes to transfer the indigenous yeasts present on their skins and to promote natural fermentation.
This must rests in hermetically sealed steel tanks for a couple of days until natural fermentation begins, and then rests for at least 20 days on skins. It subsequently rests in steel tanks for about 6 months to gain more freshness and vibrancy. The wine completes its ageing process lying horizontally in the bottle, with a natural cork closure six months before being released to the market.
