Collezione Cinquanta | Rosso D’Italia

Collezione Cinquanta | Rosso D’Italia

More than 50 years ago 19 winemakers planted their most ambitious dream. Every drop of this red wine from their land celebrates their hope, their daring and their intuition.

Vines are grown at an altitude of around 100 m above sea level. Medium/high temperature in summer Soil: Loam, finely textured and rich in iron oxides that give the topsoil the distinctive red hue. Calcareous subsoil (limestone) with few emerging rocks Vine training: Old Alberello (bush-vines) Harvest: September Vinification: Hand-harvest of slightly overripe grapes. Destemming and crushing followed by cold soak maceration at 8°C for about 24- 48 hours. Thermo-controlled maceration and alcoholic fermentation for about 10 days with autochthonous yeasts at 24-26°C. Final drawing off with soft pressing machines Ageing: Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Ruby red with purple reflections; intense and complex bouquet with fruity notes attributable to plum and jam, and spicy hints that recall vanilla and liquorice; intense on the palate, with great structure and smoothness, long finish.
