IN-DEPTH
Tempranillo is a grape variety of Spanish origin grownin Ribera del Duero and Rioja: it is a variety that has adapted very well to the breezy Mediterranean climate and to the fresh, deep soils, such as those of Casale del Giglio, in the area called “Valle” where “Tempranijo” has found ideal setting.
Spontaneous and very slow fermentation, a further phase of maceration on the skins to extract as much tannins as possible and, in the end, aging in cherry tonneau only for a small fraction of the wine, which varies from 15 to 20% depending on the vintage, while the remaining part is kept in stainless steel tanks.
Very intense color with fruity hints of raspberry, black currant and underbrush aromas, wrapped in a sweet note of ripe morello cherry. Thetaste is rich and very concentrated with spicy and fruity notes, enhanced by a consistent presence of very sweet tannins. Long and persistent aftertaste, well suited to long bottle aging.
