Bolgheri

Production notes

Harvested by hand; the bunches are sorted twice, before and after destemming. Each variety and each plot was vinified separately. The first fermentation lasted a week in stainless steel vats. Then the marc was transported to the distillery to produce the eau-de-vie, quickly to retain its freshness and then be refined in new barrels for 36 months before being blended with older reserve grappas.

Tasting notes

Of a tawny color with fruit aromas on floral scents and fine spices. In the mouth, undeniable power on sweet and pleasant flavors and a fine and delectable texture. Take slightly chilled after meals.
