Varvàra 2021 DOC Bolgheri

BLEND

55% Cabernet Sauvignon

28% Merlot

12% Cabernet Franc

5% Petit Verdot

HARVEST

Hand-picked, grape selection in the cellar before destemming.

VINIFICATION

Very delicate vinification through pumping over and delestage.

The wine remains in contact with the skins for approximately 20-25 days. Fermentation is carried out in steel vats.

AGING

12 months in 500-liter barrels and 35 Hl oak barrels.

CLIMATE

An exceptional vintage, characterized by a high concentration, but where the harmony was yet maintained.

The hot and dry summer, together with the constant ventilation from the sea, helped the slightly early ripening.

Yields per hectare were low, as well as the wine yields because the grapes had a particularly thick peel.
