Stock Status: Private Order Only Per Case / Size: 6 x 750ml Intro: On the southern shores of Lake Garda, in a terrain full of history and considered to be premier cru, stands the ancient Roveglia farmstead. This is the only surviving example in this area of 15th century Lombardy architecture. The surrounding land, hidden under vines, is a terroir whose history goes back 200 million years. Its the union of the ancient and clay soils with a native vine that produces an extraordinary wine called Lugana. Description: Red wine from the vineyards to the south of Lake Garda and the slopes of the morainic hills, an altitude of 50 meters above sea level, with a strongly calcareous, loamy soil rich in minerals. Cabernet Sauvignon - a lush, full-bodied wine in which the oak vini cation has brought out all the complex flavours which resolve in a long layered finish. Vinification: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, vines with more than 40 years Harvest:? The grapes are picked by hand in the first ten days of October, then put into small crates for about 15/20 days Vinification?: Destemming of the grapes and red wine vinification (with the skins) in a stainless steel vat. During fermentation continual punching down of the cap and pumping over of the must are carried out. The wine is drawn off and the pomace from the fermentation undergoes soft pressing. Maturation:? 6-7 months in stainless steel tanks, then in 225 lt. barriques for 24 months. Bottling: ?In July of the third year following the harvest. It is released onto the market after about 6 months in bottle. Flavours: This is a Cabernet Sauvignon, with a bright ruby red colour. On the nose, aromatic notes of a herbaceous nature are evident. The palate reveals sensations of black fruits. The fruit is fine and well-balanced. Food Pairings: Give the wine a little air before serving, decant it for 15 minutes to let all the avours and aroma blossom. It goes well with red meats, grills, and strongly flavoured cheeses. Serving Temperature: 15° - 18° C. |
