IL VINO DEI POETI BOLGHERI ROSSO DOC

Bolgheri Rosso Doc

Bolgheri Rosso DOC is produced in the area of Castagneto Carducci (Tuscany), well-known for its reputed red wines.

CHARACTERISTICS

The grapes originate from vineyards facing north-south, located at 200-400 meters above sea level. The soils are sandy, clay, with high skeleton, alkali-rich metals. The grapes are hand picked and pressed with elimination of stalks. The vinification process involves a 20-day maceration period. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C. The polyphenols extraction takes place thanks to daily pump-overs. The wine obtained is then left to rest and in this phase, malolactic fermentation occurs spontanously. The wine is then aged in oak casks for 24 months (18 in French oak barriques of 2,25-10 hl) and refined in bottle for a minimum period of 2 months.
