| Story | The Tempranillo grape is a Spanish variety grown in the country’s northern provinces of Ribera del Duero and Rioja. It adapts well to an airy Mediterranean climate and above all, to fresh, deep soils. At Casale del Giglio the variety thrives in the highly favourable conditions of the ‘Valle’ vineyard (ex ‘Riserva Bottacci’) where the air is even fresher and the soil even deeper than in other parts of the estate. These factors help the grape to reach full phenolic maturity and a perfect fruit-tobody balance. |
| Wine making | 100% fully ripe Tempranillo grapes, which may have been allowed to shrivel slightly on the vine, undergo cold maceration for two days at 10 °C to extract as much aroma as possible from the skins. This initial stage is followed by a very slow, spontaneous, submerged cap fermentation from 16 °C to 24 °C over 15 to 18 days with periodic delestage’ to aerate the yeasts. Following fermentation the new wine macerates for a further 12/15 days on the skins to extract maximum tannins from a variety where these tend to be sweet and never over-abundant. |
| Aging | A small fraction of the mass – 15/20% depending on the vintage – is aged in cherry wood ‘tonneau’ casks while the remainder is stored in stainless steel tanks. |
