Baffonero 2019<br />Tuscan Maremma DOC<br />Baffonero is the Grand Cru, 100% Merlot, of Rocca di Frassinello. It takes its name from a 3.5 ha vineyard with perfect exposure and a medium-clayey soil very rich in<br />skeleton. Merlot clones from Château Lafite were planted here. The name Baffonero is inspired by a Maremma story that evokes the wild boar hunting typical of the area.<br />Today, Baffonero tells not only these anecdotes, but also the strength and elegance of a unique land like the Maremma.<br />Notes vintage 2019: a very variable season. In spring and early summer, temperatures were below the seasonal average, and the rains, during flowering, delayed the<br />subsequent phenological phases, lengthening the plant's vegetative cycle. The months of July and August, but above all September, were followed by very sunny weather<br />with high, but not very high, temperatures and significant temperature swings between day and night; a situation that favoured perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes. The<br />Merlot bunches were perfectly intact, healthy and juicy at the time of harvest.<br />Tasting notes: this pure Merlot reveals aromas characterised by a variety of black fruits, particularly blackberry and blueberry, but also notes of vanilla, tobacco, chocolate<br />and slight hints of coffee. In the mouth, it is full and robust and shows all its complexity as well as a marked freshness that makes it long and pleasant and particularly<br />persistent in the finish.<br /><br />Municipality of production: Gavorrano (GR)<br />Soil type: clayey rich in skeleton<br />Vineyard Altitude: 90 m above sea level<br />Vineyard name: Vigna Baffonero<br />Training system: spurred cordon<br />Planting density: 5,900 vines per hectare<br />Yield per hectare: 25 Ql<br />Harvest time: first half of September<br />Vinification: in cement<br />Malolactic fermentation: carried out<br />Ageing: in 100% new French oak barriques<br />Length of ageing in barriques: 24 months<br />Ageing in bottle: 12 months<br />

Campo ai Sassi 2021<br />Rosso di Montalcino DOC<br />Campo ai Sassi Rosso di Montalcino presents the typical characteristics of Sangiovese grown in this area, in a youthfully disengaged version. The deep soils on which<br />these vineyards are cultivated contribute to perfumed and elegant wines with a light and delicate tannic texture.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the<br />beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the<br />beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild<br />temperatures and low humidity.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Varietal: Sangiovese<br />Alcoholic grade: 13.5%.<br />Maturation: in oak barrels<br />Vinification and maturation<br />Once harvested, the Sangiovese grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During this phase, cap breaking was of fundamental importance,<br />allowing perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances. Subsequently, the wine spent a period of maturation in the cellar, part of it in wood. Further time in bottle<br />completed its qualitative course before release for consumption.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Campo ai sassi 2021 has a wonderful ruby red colour. The bouquet is mainly characterised by fruity<br />fruity and floral notes. Among the fruity notes stand out the currant and morello cherry, among the floral ones certainly the violet. In the mouth it is<br />fresh, soft and persuasive. The tannin is soft. The persistence is pleasantly long.<br />
