This is truly a Super Tuscan Wine, showing the great heights that Sangiovese can reach when made with care and attention, especially in a great vintage such as 2005. VINEYARD For each vintage, the grapes for Cepparello are picked from the best sites on the estates. The vineyards are situated 400 metres above sea level, facing south-west. Soils are primarily galestro (clay/slate). The grapes were harvest by hand, usually during the second and third week in October, when the grapes are fully ripe. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Sangiovese VINIFICATION After crushing, the must is fermented on the skins for 21-28 days, with delestage and is pumped over twice a day. During fermentation, temperatures reach up to 32-34°C. Delestage is a method of extraction used during fermentation, which gives wines of good colour and soft tannins. The maceration tank is emptied of fermenting must, the cap allowed to dry out for two to three hours and then the must is poured back over the cap. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into barrels. It is 100% barrel-aged, 1/3 in new French and American oak (15% of total), 1/3 in one year old oak and the remaining third is put into two year old oak. The wine remains in barrel for 18 months and then matures in bottle before release. It has a further potential of up to 10 years. TASTING NOTE Cepparello is a full-bodied wine with a deep purple colour. Though rich in tannins, it is soft and round on the palate. The wine shows great complexity and a youthful fruitiness.  in stock.OUT OF STOCK Per Bottle £39.95 Quantity:   People who bought this item also bought: 1.
