描述
Since its debut in 1988, IL BLU is the result of our constant quest for perfection. Made only from the best hand-harvested and selected grapes from our two estates in the Chianti region, with ultra-fine tannins and a smooth and full finish, this is a full-bodied wine that stands out for its complexity and elegance. Today, thanks to the ever-improving complexity of our Merlot grapes, in particular from our vineyards in Radda in Chianti, the blend is 80% Merlot and 10% each Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each single vineyard and variety are aged separately in barriques, new for two thirds, for 18 months. Afterwards, all the individual casks are tasted to select the final blend, which refines in uncoated concrete tanks for 3 months. This way the wine becomes more balanced, aromas are better integrated and so are the tannins, even before the one-year bottle aging. We continue the work of perfecting this wine, while at the same time, we take great care to preserve its identity. The character and style of IL BLU have been marked by continuity over all these years: something we intend to carry ahead for the 30 years to come.

故事 | Since its debut in 1988, IL BLU has been the result of our constant search for perfection. Made from only the best hand-picked and selected grapes from our two Chianti estates, with fine tannins and a soft, full-bodied finish, it is a full-bodied wine that stands out for its complexity and elegance. Today, thanks to the ever-improving complexity of our Merlot grapes, particularly from our vineyards in Radda in Chianti, the blend is 80% Merlot and 10% Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each individual vineyard and variety are aged separately in barriques, two-thirds new, for 18 months. Afterwards, all individual barrels are tasted to select the final blend, which is aged in unlined cement tanks for 3 months. In this way, the wine becomes more balanced, the aromas are better integrated and so are the tannins, even before ageing in the bottle for a year. We continue the work of perfecting this wine, while at the same time, taking great care to preserve its identity. The character and style of IL BLU have been marked by continuity over all these years: something we intend to carry on for the next 30 years. |
