2010 Castello del Terriccio Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy
The 2010 vintage developed perfectly, with slow and gradual growth, mainly due to a cool and rainy spring and a summer with temperatures perfectly in line with the seasonal average and little rainfall. The harvest began about 10 days late for all varieties. Helped by splendid late summer weather, we harvested grapes rich in polyphenols, acidity and sugars in excellent conditions. The strong temperature range between day and night helped us to maintain the aromas, so as to give the wine great complexity.
Harvest period: The grape picking, carried out strictly by hand, begins in mid-September for the Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes. After a first selection in the vineyards at the time of the manual picking, the grapes are selected again in the cellar on the sorting table.
Winemaking notes: After the manual selection on the sorting table, the grapes are gently de-stemmed and pressed carefully, in order to not breakthe skin of the berries. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in open-cap stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with maceration of the grapes for about 20 days. Daily délestages allowed the extraction of the aromatic bouquet and the right tannic balance, with an important structure that will allow a long aging.
Aging: The ageing takes place in new French oak tonneaux for a period of about 22 months and is subsequently assembled and bottled.
