Varvàra 2022 DOC Bolgheri
.
BLEND
60% Cabernet Sauvignon
23% 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
A winter marked by low rainfalls raised concerns about water stress in the fruit. However, timely rains in mid-August and early September facilitated full tannic ripening. The dilution effect from the rain resulted in wines that are balanced and highly enjoyable, albeit with slightly shorter aging potential compared to 2021. They boast a broader spectrum of fruit flavors, making 2022 yet another unique vintage.
