Brilliant deep red.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested by hand into 15 kg crates. After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were transferred to concrete tanks by gravity, without pumping. Each parcel of the vineyard was vinified separately. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts at temperatures of around 25-28°C, with pumping over two or three times a day and délestages where necessary. The time spent in the tanks ranged from 21 to 28 days. Malolactic fermentation in barriques, with 100% new oak, by keeping the various batches separate for the first 12 months of ageing. Subsequently, the wines were blended and returned to the barriques for an additional year, totaling 24 months. After the bottling, the Masseto 2021 aged in the bottle for 12 months before being released.
