INSOGLIO DEL CINGHIALE 2023
Toscana IGT Rosso
.
Blend: consisting mainly of Syrah followed by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Soyl type: part clay, part Bolgheri conglomerate.
Warmer soils with a prevalence of sand are dedicated to Syrah.
Vine traning system: spurred cordon vine training system with a density of 6,500 vines/ha.
Climatic conditions: the 2023 vintage can be described as anomalous, especially when compared to the previous one. Winter and spring were mostly mild, but May and the first part of June were characterised by a high frequency of rainfall. This allowed the soil to become enriched with waterreserves that were useful in facing the hot and dry temperatures ofthe summer period, which could be overcome without any particular difficulty. These factors, combined with the privileged position of the vineyards, led to optimal ripening of the grapes and confirmed an absolutely remarkable vintage.
Harvest: the 2023 harvest began towards the end of August when the Syrah and Merlot grapes were picked, strictly during the coolest hours of the day. It continued with the Petit Verdot in mid-September and was completed before the end of the month with the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinification and ageing: the grapes are carefully selected on the vibrating conveyor belt and then destemmed and finally crushed. Taking care to keep the di#erent varieties separate, this is followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled steel tanks at a maximum of 28°C for 14 to 21 days. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine is blended and aged for about 6 months, partly in stainless steel and partly in wood, before bottling.
Tasting notes
Colour: intense and lively purple red with violet reflections.
Nose: violet, berries and light peppery spice. Clear aromas of Mediterranean maquis such as myrtle and rosemary, boisée nuance well integrated with roasting notes.
Taste: enveloping, fresh and medium-bodied, with well-smoothed tannins. The pleasant drinkability is combined with excellent persistence.
