Description
What kind of wine it is
I Luoghi Bolgheri Rosso Superiore Podere Ritorti presents an intense ruby red colour, the result of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. On the nose, it is intricate and complex, with clear notes of ripe red fruit and vanilla, combined with fresh Mediterranean aromas and subtle mineral notes. The palate is soft and velvety, supported by a solid structure and sweet tannins that lead to a persistent finish. Ideally served after an hour of decanting, this wine enhances the intense flavours of meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Bolgheri Rosso Superiore is produced in Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of Tuscany, faithfully reflecting the identity of its territory. The I Luoghi winery adopts an organic and sustainable management approach, cultivating the vines using the spur-pruned cordon method. High planting density and low yields encourage a deep flavour concentration in the grapes. These rigorous agronomic practices result in a red wine of great elegance and structure, capable of evolving and refining beautifully over many years.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest followed by meticulous selection of the grape bunches. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, accompanied by about twenty days of maceration on the skins. After racking, the free-run must matures for fourteen months in French oak barrels, an essential step in defining its smooth character. The cycle concludes with a further maturation in bottle of at least ten months, fundamental for harmonising the entire structural texture of the wine.
