Castello di Bolgheri 2021 DOC Bolgheri Superiore

BLEND

75% Cabernet Sauvignon

20% Cabernet Franc

  5% Merlot

HARVEST

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

The harvest began at the end of August with the Merlot, followed by the Cabernet Franc and at the end of September by the Cabernet Sauvignon.



VINIFICATION

Selected parcels vinified partly in steel, and partly in oak vats and 500-liter barrels.

Long maceration on the skins up to 30 days for Cabernet Sauvignon and up to 20 for Cabernet Franc and Merlot, to preserve the elegance of the tannins. Most of it fermented with indigenous yeasts.



AGING

Aging for 20 months in wood, of which the first 12 in 500-litre barrels and the following 8, once blended, the wine completed its aging in 35-hectolitre oak barrels.
