Winemaker Notes
The
Seggio river is the largest watercourse in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. Its source is up in
Sassetta’s metalliferous hills, an area that was already well known in the Etruscan period and is extremely
rich in underground deposits of ferrous minerals. It cuts across the entire area of Bolgheri and its
alluvial debris enrich the characteristic clay soils with precious large pebbles, thus ensuring excellent
drainage of the soil. This Bolgheri Rosso is produced with the typical varietals, Merlot 40%, Cabernet
Sauvignon 30%, Cabernet Franc 20% and Petit Verdot 10%, carefully harvested and vinified to ensure density
and concentration but also creating a very fresh and easy-drinking style of wine. In the glass, one can
immediately grasp the impassioned enthusiasm and attention to the detail that we dedicate to this wine,
which makes its debut with vintage 2014.
Intense ruby red in color. The nose offers nice fresh and
crunchy fruit, enriched with mineral and spicy notes. The palate is medium bodied with red berry notes. The
tannins are elegant, silky, enveloping and very soft. The finish is precise, clean and lively.
