novecento Syrah / Shiraz,
Vineyards planted in 1960. Trellis vine, watered through furrows with meltwater. Implanted in stony good-drainage soil in an area with a wide temperature range between day and night. The land is 900m above sea level. These vineyards are characterized by excellent sunlight typical of this wine region. The vineyard yield is 7 tons/ha.
The grape is harvested from selected well-kept vineyards, with high enological quality and low production. There is a phenolic ripen and sugar level monitoring of the vines up to the moment of grinding. Harvest is manual and grapes are stalked, refrigerated, and fermented during grinding. From there, they are sent to small capacity vessels (100 to 300 HL), equipped with temperature panels that allow for refrigerant and hot water passage. Temperature is maintained at 25 ºC approximately. Alcoholic fermentation takes approximately up to 10 days and it is followed by the maceration process, which it spends between 10 and 15 days; the drain out moment is decided in the function of the total polyphenol index, together with the respective tasting.
This wine has a vibrant cherry and violet tone of velour with a very expressive aroma of plenty of bilberries and spicy aromas. Full of sweet tannins and fruity notes.
