Chianti Rufina 2020 Borgo Macereto 75 cl

Description

History

The company covers about 20 hectares on the hills that dominate the area between Mugello and Valdisieve in the municipality of Dicomano. Of the estate, 6 hectares are destined to vineyards with organic farming practices. The farm was born in 2014 when the Foscarini family took possession of it and decided to dedicate a large part of it to vineyards, recovering the original 3 hectares of Sangiovese and Gamay vineyards and planting new Pinot Noir vines in 2016, as well as a variety of aromatic whites including Riesling, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.

Grapes used

Sangiovese 100%

Production method

The crates are used to manually harvest the grapes, which are subjected to careful selection in the field through various steps. Subsequently, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified separately. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, keeping the vats at temperatures below 30°C thanks to the cooling bands. During fermentation, brief daily pumping overs are performed, together with one or two delestages per tank. The drawing off generally takes place after about 15 days of maceration.

Alcohol content
