Tenuta Frescobaldi Castiglioni
In Castiglioni, the climatic trend of this vintage was characterized-at the end of May-by a rather early flowering in the vineyards: in fact, temperatures typical of the summer months were recorded during this period. Not surprisingly, summer 2022 will be remembered as one of the longest in recent years. In the first part of the summer period, the plants saw an acceleration of the shoot growth and fruit set phase of the inflorescences, thus providing excellent homogeneity in the vineyards. In July, however, the vines adapted to the outdoor environment, slowing their initial momentum to protect themselves from the summer heat. The providential rain in mid-August finally resulted in healthy and balanced grapes.
Wine Variety: Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Sangiovese
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Maturation: 12 months in barriques and 2 in bottles
Vinification and ageing: The freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and fermented with light and constant pumping over in thermoregulated steel tanks. Once alcoholic fermentation was completed, malolactic fermentation took place and the wine began maturation in barriques for 12 months undergoing the typical harmonious evolution of the various color, smell and taste components. The further period in bottle allowed Tenuta Frescobaldi Castiglioni 2022 to express itself to its full potential.
Organoleptic Notes: Tenuta Frescobaldi 2022 presents a wonderful bright ruby red color with purple highlights. The bouquet is intense, complex, characterized by fruity notes reminiscent of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry and currant to flow into spicy hints reminiscent of pepper and cinnamon. Notes reminiscent of cocoa powder and roasting prevail on the finish. The palate is warm, soft and round, with intense fruity notes returning and a delicately spicy finish. The tannins are present but extremely velvety.
Available formats: 0,75 l; 1,5 l; 3 l.
