Description

Federico’s estate, the tiniest of all Bolgheri, produces only 3000 bottles of Bolgheri Superiore (the highest level for the appellation) only in great vintages.
All the vines are harvested together strictly by hand and vinified together in a neighbour structure (the size of the estate and the cost of construction make it impossible to build a small winery there).
This a vineyard-blend of about 60% of Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot fermented for 22 days before been transferred to Burgundy barriques (30% of which new) for 24 months. It’s then bottled without fining and bottle-aged for 18 months before release.
Simply outstanding
