Campo di Tenaglia Rosso Toscana IGT

Description :

Collezione «I Campi» is a limited-production series of Cabernet Franc that showcases the unique character of three distinct vineyard parcels. The collection began in 2011 with Campo di Magnacosta, when the Cabernet Franc vines had reached maturity and could fully express the personality of their soils. Campo di Tenaglia and Campo di Camagi completed the series in 2014.
Campo di Tenaglia is a 0.8-hectare (2-acre) vineyard planted on deep, well-drained marly-sandy soils with small limestone aggregates. It lies on a west-facing slope at 500 m (1,700 ft) above sea level. The name Tenaglia—meaning "pincer"—refers to the vineyard's shape, which wraps around a small cluster of trees at its center. The vines are 22 years old.
Vinification: Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by 8 months in French barriques and 12 months in cement vats.
