WINE DESCRIPTION
Fattoria Aldobrandesca Vie Cave Maremma Toscana Rosso IGT is a distinguished Malbec crafted by the renowned Marchesi Antinori estate, located in the Maremma, Tuscany. This wine emerges from meticulously selected grapes grown in Maremma's unique volcanic soils, enhancing the varietal's potential in its new Italian terroir. Following harvest, the grapes undergo a delicate vinification process starting with pre-fermentation cold maceration to extract aromatic compounds and anthocyanins. The must then ferments at a controlled temperature of 30°C, ensuring the careful extraction of soft tannins. Aged for approximately 10 months in French oak barriques, the wine completes malolactic fermentation, resulting in a balanced and soft profile. Named after the Etruscan "Vie Cave," or excavated roads, this wine embodies the rich heritage and captivating charm of its production area. Fattoria Aldobrandesca Vie Cave offers a harmonious blend of elegance and tradition, showcasing the innovative spirit of Tuscan winemaking.
