Description
Wisdom is combined with strength in the Wolf, who with stealthy gait and hypnotic stare anticipates the moves, while remaining in the wings, silent, observing and favoring harmony among things, as the events unfold. And while everything proceeds, only wisdom can guide man’s hand as he cultivates the vineyard, so that it will yield up Corte del Lupo Rosso, a wine with character, pleasant and convivial. The fruit of nature’s elements, Corte del Lupo Rosso is the expression of patience and skilled work, the incarnation of the philosophy and style of Ca’ del Bosco. Corte del Lupo Rosso rediscovers the local red varietals, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, to combine the strength of the Wolf and the wisdom of man.

Harvest | Second and third ten days of September. The grapes are hand-picked in 8 different vineyards, where they are placed in small crates on which a code is immediately stamped, just before they are cold-stored. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then goes through our exclusive "berry spa," a special whirlpool-like wash for grape bunches, consisting of three soaking tanks, followed by thorough drying. |
Wine making | Then the clusters are transported over the maceration vat, where they are destemmed, allowing the berries to naturally fall into vat. This eliminates the need for traditional pumping systems, which cause the skins to break and develop unwanted herbaceous hints. Skin contact lasted 21 days for Merlot and Carménère, 22 days for Cabernet Franc, and 20 days for Cabernet Sauvignon. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration were controlled by accurately managing temperature and punching down the grape cap several times. |
