Piastraia Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC
-
Description :
The Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah vines were planted in 1991 with the intention of producing the highest quality "Bordelaise" vines in Bolgheri. These international varietals combined with the native Sangiovese produces a wine that is well-structured, elegant, full and round. The grapes are harvested at full maturity. Immediately following the pressing, the wine is placed into wooden casks. The fermentation and maceration of each variety is handled separately with the cap manually pushed down daily for a period of 20 days. The wine is blended and then rests for a period of 24 months in French barriques (1/3 in new oak). The wine is bottled without being filtered.
