Fabio Motta Le Gonnare Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 2020

70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The grapes for Le Gonnare are harvested in small cases and entirely destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place with the use of natural yeasts, giving the highest attention to the maceration on the skins. After the natural malolactic fermentation, the wine goes into barriques, one third new oak then aged approximately 18 months in oak and 1 year in the bottle.  

The bouquet is colored with black fruits, sweet cedar, spice and a touch of grilled rosemary. This is rich on the palate, with some sanguine or rusty notes that add a touch of saltiness to the finish. Winemaking starts off in cement vats and ages in barrique (with just 25% new oak).  13.5% ABV
