Grottaia Rosso Toscana IGT 2021 - Caccia al Piano

GRAPES 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 50% MerlotCLIMATE The 2021 vintage was characterized by a moderately rainy winter with a rather high temperature trend, at least in the maximum temperatures compared to seasonal averages. which therefore led to an earlier budding. Spring gave us a few sporadic days of rain between April and early May, rain that will only reappear in September. The summer was therefore hot and dry, which allowed for an excellent healthiness of the vineyard ecosystem and an early harvest of great quality.WINEMAKING The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in 15 kg boxes, with separate harvesting by variety and plot. A careful selection of the grapes preceded destemming, which was followed by the maceration phase in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. In this phase the alcoholic fermentation began, which lasted for about two weeks, followed by racking and malolactic fermentation.MATURATION The refinement took place exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the final assembly was carried out at the end of which the bottling took place.
