Provocation . But also revelation. The story is ironically well portrayed on the label by a wolf in lambskin. Carmenére is a vine originating from the Bordeaux area, confused for a long time with Cabernet franc. Despite having organoleptic traits in common, it is a very different grape variety: much more intense and spicy. Ca 'del Bosco in 1996 entrusted the Faculty of Agriculture of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Piacenza with the task of revealing its existence, origin and identity. Carmenero stands out for its very intense and dark color, for its powerful and spicy aroma, for its full, rich and original taste.
NAME Sebino Rosso Carménère IGT. VARIETY OF GRAPES Carménère 100%. VINEYARDS OF ORIGIN 2 Carménère vineyards, with an average age of 28 years, located in the Municipality of Passirano. HARVEST PERIOD 18 September 2015. AVERAGE YIELD PER HECTARE 7,500 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 4,350 liters of wine (yield in wine: 58%). VINIFICATION Carmenere is the result of a careful selection of the grapes and a skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the Ca 'del Bosco Method. The grapes from 2 historic vineyards, freshly harvested by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from the exclusive "grape spa", a particular system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, through three soaking tanks and a drying system. Afterwards, each bunch is transported over the maceration vat. With de-stemming, the grapes fall into the vat, from above, by gravity. This eliminates the traditional pumping systems, which are the cause of the breakage of the skins and unwanted herbaceous notes. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration were carried out for 19 days, carefully managing temperature and punching down. The pumping over was carried out daily, using a pair of lifting tanks into which the wine, tapped from the bottom of the vat, is transferred by gravity. The wine, brought up from the flying tanks, is poured into the vat, at a high flow rate, to submerge the "hat". Nothing could be more natural and effective to delicately extract color and tannins. After racking, the wine, still warm, is decanted into small oak barrels, 65% new, obtained from selected woods, aged for at least 3 years. The refinement lasted a total of 13 months and after a few months the wine was bottled by gravity, in a natural way. Thanks to innovative filling systems, the wine does not undergo oxidative shocks, flapping and further additions of sulphites. Its integrity and healthiness are guaranteed. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked, to ensure traceability. BOTTLING December 20, 2016. AGING IN BOTTLE 3 years and 11 months.
