WINE DESCRIPTION
Sette Vigne Rosso is a blend of seven different Italian varieties. A de-stemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing color extraction. Fermentation takes place for 8-10 days aiming to achieve a soft extraction of aromas and gentle tannins.
The Corvina grapes follow a different technique called “appassimento” which involves drying grapes in a well aerated loft until they lose up to 50% of their original weight in water. The grapes are crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks for a very slow fermentation.
Following vinification, 40% of each of the seven wines is individually placed in second and third passage barriques for 6 months to gain added aromas of sweet spice.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Sette Vigne Rosso offers enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by hints of spice and earthy undertones.The palate is full-bodied with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors of red berries continue to shine through, complemented by notes of black pepper, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. The wine's well-integrated acidity adds freshness and structure, contributing to a long and satisfying finish.
