ColleMassari Riserva

Vintage 2018 - The climate

Despite the strong caloric matrix of the vintage, the wines that derive from it are as generous as the climate was warm from June to August. The rains of the 2nd of September and a significant drop in temperatures have restored more normal rhythms at the time of the harvest. The wines deriving from the Sangiovese selected for the Riservas come from the grapes that have gained tannin harmony and organoleptic complexity thanks to the milder and cooler climate of September, and which have reached a slower maturity thanks to the work and ingenious care of the winemakers.

Vinification

The grapes come from a selection of the oldest vineyards with an average age of 16 years. The cultivation according to the natural dictates of organic farming and the characteristic of soils help to preserve the authenticity of expression of the Sangiovese strongly correlated with the hills of Montecucco and are part of the authenticity of the ColleMassari Riserva. Vinification in stainless steel vats and in small wood vats with spontaneous fermentation and long macerations of 3-4 weeks. Ages for 18 months in vats and tonneaux, and was bottled in July 2019.
